从Ruby 2.5.0开始，你可以使用哈希#transform_keys或哈希#transform_keys!

{'a' => 1, 'b' => 2}.transform_keys(&:to_sym) #=> {:a => 1, :b => 2}

ruby-1.9.2-p180 :001 > h = {'aaa' => 1, 'bbb' => 2}
 => {"aaa"=>1, "bbb"=>2} 
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :002 > Hash[h.map{|a| [a.first.to_sym, a.last]}]
 => {:aaa=>1, :bbb=>2}

这是为那些使用mruby并且没有定义任何symbolize_keys方法的人准备的:

class Hash
  def symbolize_keys!
    self.keys.each do |k|
      if self[k].is_a? Hash
        self[k].symbolize_keys!
      end
      if k.is_a? String
        raise RuntimeError, "Symbolizing key '#{k}' means overwrite some data (key :#{k} exists)" if self[k.to_sym]
        self[k.to_sym] = self[k]
        self.delete(k)
      end
    end
    return self
  end
end

方法:

仅表示字符串类型的键 如果符号化字符串意味着丢失一些信息(覆盖哈希的一部分)将引发RuntimeError symbolic也是递归包含的散列 返回符号化的哈希值 工作到位!

这是嵌套哈希的一行代码

def symbolize_keys(hash)
  hash.each_with_object({}) { |(k, v), h| h[k.to_sym] = v.is_a?(Hash) ? symbolize_keys(v) : v }
end

这个怎么样:

my_hash = HashWithIndifferentAccess.new(YAML.load_file('yml'))

# my_hash['key'] => "val"
# my_hash[:key]  => "val"

对于Ruby中YAML的特定情况，如果键以':'开头，它们将被自动作为符号存储。

require 'yaml'
require 'pp'
yaml_str = "
connections:
  - host: host1.example.com
    port: 10000
  - host: host2.example.com
    port: 20000
"
yaml_sym = "
:connections:
  - :host: host1.example.com
    :port: 10000
  - :host: host2.example.com
    :port: 20000
"
pp yaml_str = YAML.load(yaml_str)
puts yaml_str.keys.first.class
pp yaml_sym = YAML.load(yaml_sym)
puts yaml_sym.keys.first.class

输出:

#  /opt/ruby-1.8.6-p287/bin/ruby ~/test.rb
{"connections"=>
  [{"port"=>10000, "host"=>"host1.example.com"},
   {"port"=>20000, "host"=>"host2.example.com"}]}
String
{:connections=>
  [{:port=>10000, :host=>"host1.example.com"},
   {:port=>20000, :host=>"host2.example.com"}]}
