How to response with JSON format using Ruby Rack middleware

Include the "json" gem in your project, and then call #to_json on the Hash:

app = Proc.new do |env|   [200, { 'Content-Type' => 'application/json' }, [ { :x => 42 }.to_json ]]end

Note that nil is translated to null in the JSON, if you need null.
