Defined in:

Overview

Handles coercion and type checking for parameters that are complex types given as JSON-encoded strings. It accepts both JSON objects and arrays of objects, and will coerce the input to a +Hash+ or +Array+ object respectively. In either case the Grape validation system will apply nested validation rules to all returned objects.
