Passing JSON from Rails 2 to Backbone.js

When Backbone.js gets JSON from the server, it expects it to not have the model-name wrapper that Rails/ActiveRecord applies via the to_json call. You can disable this globally in Rails, but that would break legacy integration points I have to support. Is there an elegant solution on either side?

Oh, much like my answer to your other question, in this case you can override parse() on your model. This is also generalizable in a model base class if you prefer.

parse: function(response)  {
  return response.model_name;
},

Edited to add code.
