// 99% of the time, you will want to be digest a json string from rails and read it into a javascript object.
response = JSON.parse(myJSONtext);

// then you can call the hash keys like they were methods
response.md5sum
response.file_name

// a reviver could be used as a pre-processor sort of, usually it will be left off.
JSON.parse(myJSONtext, reviver);

//conversely the to above, you can take a javascript object and convert it to valid JSON, with a sort of post processor.
JSON.stringify(myObject, replacer);
