    **Answer of my question**

This part we have to do in controller hotelscontroller.erb

  respond_to :json, :xml
      def index
        @hotels = Hotel.all

        respond_to do |format|
          format.html # show.html.erb
          format.json { render json: @hotels.to_json(:only => [ :id, :name ]) }
        end
      end

view/index.json.erb

[
  <% @hotels.each do |hotel| %>
    { 'id': <%= hotel.id %>, 'name': "<%= hotel.name %>" },
  <% end %>
]

routes.rb

get 'hotels' => 'hotels#index', :as => 'hotels'

There are many ways:

  1. Create method to_json for each model

  2. Create view named, i.e. hotels/index.json.erb and write JSON code using ERb templating engine

    [
  <% @hotels.each do |hotel| %>
    { 'id': <%= hotel.id %>, 'name': "<%= hotel.name %>" },
  <% end %>
]

  3. Use library like jbuilder (on the bottom of page is list of alternatives to JBuilder)

    # hotels/index.json.jbuilder
json.array!(@hotels) do |hotel|
  json.id hotel.id
  json.name hotel.name
end

You can covert a hash to json by to_json method. For reference please see http://apidock.com/rails/ActiveRecord/Serialization/to_json

for example, if you want to write all hotels to external file.

file = File.open("hotels.txt", "w")
file.puts Hotel.all.to_json
file.close

this will write all hotels in external file hotels.txt
