Print a particular object from json in ruby - ruby-on-rails

Question

How do I print only the text from the json. I am working on ruby on rails app.
tweets = JSON.parse(response.body)
tweets.each do |tweet|
"#{tweet["text"]}"
end
I tried the above code bt it displays the whole json.
Response.body :

Answer 1

Use map instead of each:
tweets = JSON.parse(response.body)
tweets.map do |tweet|
tweet["text"]
end
And there is no need to interpolate tweet["text"].

Answer 2

One problem here is that you're using quotes within quotes. Forgot to escape?
Another issue is that you're not printing anything. Merely returning the text in a loop does nothing and would always return the tweets object when the loop is complete.
So, here you go:
tweets = JSON.parse(response.body)
tweets.each do |tweet|
puts tweet["text"]
end
Update:
Well, I guess the quotes within quotes won't be a problem here as long as you use string interpolation. But it's still not the preferred way. I'd rather go with "#{tweet['text']}".
