how to convert a JSON object to corresponding string

How can i convert the below JSON Object to a string that can be converted to string and stored in string field and then use it later to be converted back to JSON

The JSON is: 

{"tds_head_id"=>88, "date"=>nil, "salary_gross_amount"=>0, "qualifying_amount"=>0, "proof_amount"=>0, "remarks"=>nil}

this hash has to be converted such that it can be converted back to the same JSON format later.

You can make use of the JSON library generate method to do so and get the corresponding string like

json_object = {"tds_head_id"=>88, "date"=>nil, "salary_gross_amount"=>0, "qualifying_amount"=>0, "proof_amount"=>0, "remarks"=>nil}
JSON.generate(json_object)

output will be 

  "{\"tds_head_id\":88,\"date\":null,\"salary_gross_amount\":0,\"qualifying_amount\":0,\"proof_amount\":0,\"remarks\":null}"

you can convert it back to JSON by using JSON.parse Method
