Best Way to underscore params in rails

I'm writing REST JSON services for Android and iOS mobile devices, but Ruby, Java and Objecive-C have different code styles. I'm looking for best way to write code in Ruby style, but consider the requirements of other languages. Thanks!

Many rails developers have run into this issue. The JSON and JavaScript best practice is to use camelCase for property names.

I found usinging .camelize(:lower) on any returned JSON to be the easiest way to do this.

The other conversion from camelCase to under_score is described here: Converting camel case to underscore case in ruby

I have looked for something close to C#'s JSON.NET for Ruby as far as flexibility, but have not found it.
