You can of course use the library uri

shown here



[2] pry(main)> require 'uri'
=> true
[3] pry(main)> URI.encode('{"email":"name@gmail.com"}')
=> "%7B%22email%22:%22name@gmail.com%22%7D"

Use CGI.escape , not URI.encode / escape. URI.encode will not go outside the brackets of JSON arrays.

emails = '{"list_1":[{"Jim":"jim@gmail.com"},{"Joe":"joe@gmail.com"}]}'
> URI::encode(emails)
=> "%7B%22list_1%22:[%7B%22Jim%22:%22jim@gmail.com%22%7D,%7B%22Joe%22:%22joe@gmail.com%22%7D]%7D"
> CGI.escape(emails)
=> "%7B%22list_1%22%3A%5B%7B%22Jim%22%3A%22jim%40gmail.com%22%7D%2C%7B%22Joe%22%3A%22joe%40gmail.com%22%7D%5D%7D"
