cymbal

Convert Ruby hash keys from strings to symbols for easier manipulation

require 'cymbal'
x = {
    'foo' => 1,
    'bar' => {
        'cats' => 6,
        'dogs' => 'better'
    }
}
Cymbal.symbolize(x) # returns {:foo=>1, :bar=>{:cats=>6, :dogs=>"better"}}

The symbolize call will convert keys recursively and will handle an array of hashes.

If a hash includes keys that would collide (for example, :foo and 'foo'), an ArgumentError will be raised.
