[Rails] Re: JSON::ParserError in controller

Hi Jordon,
Thanks for your response.
I thought the JSON(response.body) performs the conversion of HTML->JSON.
But I also tried response.body.to_json which gave me the same error.
Will be great if you can explain a bit. Mean while I will also try using
nokigiri.

Thanks
Anush
