I saw this recently, thought it was interesting. But I don't really understand what it does?
Ex. I have a rails app and I want to bootstrap some json, so that I don't have to make a second request. Normally I would write something like this.
<%= raw @model.to_json %>
or
<%= @model.to_json.html_safe %>
I have to send the message raw
or html_safe
or the json will be html escaped and thus not parsed correctly. However, this seems to work too.
<%== @model.to_json %>
But I can't find any documentation.
Does anyone know what this does exactly? i.e. Is it the exact same as calling html_safe
or raw
? Or is there more to it?
