class Yajl::Encoder

If a block is passed, it will be used as (and work the same as) the +on_progress+ callback

:indent accepts a string and will be used as the indent character(s) during the pretty print process

:pretty accepts a boolean and will enable/disable "pretty printing" the resulting output

The +options+ hash allows you to set two encoding options - :pretty and :indent

If +io+ isn't passed, the resulting JSON string is returned. If +io+ is passed, nil is returned.
+io+ is the optional IO stream to encode the ruby object to.

+obj+ is a ruby object to encode to JSON format

output = Yajl::Encoder.encode(obj[, :pretty => true, :indent => "\t", &block])

Yajl::Encoder.encode(obj[, io, :pretty => true, :indent => "\t", &block])
Examples:

A helper method for encode-and-forget use-cases

def self.encode(obj, *args, &block)
  # TODO: this code smells, any ideas?
  args.flatten!
  options = {}
  io = nil
  args.each do |arg|
    if arg.is_a?(Hash)
      options = arg
    elsif arg.respond_to?(:write)
      io = arg
    end
  end if args.any?
  new(options).encode(obj, io, &block)
end
