convert yaml to json in ruby

yaml_to_json.rb

require 'json'
require 'yaml'

input_filename = ARGV[0]
output_filename = input_filename.sub(/(yml|yaml)$/, 'json')

input_file = File.open(input_filename, 'r')
input_yml = input_file.read
input_file.close

output_json = JSON.dump(YAML::load(input_yml))

output_file = File.open(output_filename, 'w+')
output_file.write(output_json)
output_file.close

limited....

 s = Set.new [1, 2, 3]
 => #<Set: {1, 2, 3}>

puts YAML::dump s
--- !ruby/object:Set
hash:
  1: true
  2: true
  3: true

JSON::dump YAML::load YAML::dump s
=> "\"#<Set:0x000000028792e8>\""
