Ruby, being a Perl-inspired language, has `.to_json` built in. You can do

```rb

   # hashes
   { foo: 'bar' }.to_json
   
   # numbers
   28.to_json

   # anything really
   ['hello', 42, { lorem: "ipsum" }].to_json
```

That’s simply not true. This method is monkeypatched by json gem

JSON has been in Ruby stdlib since at least 2.6 (2018)

You're both right, I think.
