symbolize_names is a confusing method name
The symbolize_names option is confusing and out of sync with the rest of the Ruby standard library. For instance, the Hash class uses symbolize_keys as a method. It seems that "name" is only used in JSON documentation (where things are referred to as "name-value" pairs instead of "key-value" pairs). This is, I believe, intended to indicate that the key has to be a string, but when dealing with Ruby parsing it is confusing to remember that only the JSON library has a different name.
Is there any way we can add an alias to the option as symbolize_keys?
As a side note, YAML also calls it symbolize_names, so probably YAML (Psych) would also need to be updated.
YAML.safe_load(data,symbolize_names: true)
So at the very least, JSON and YAML (for symbolize_names) are consistent with each other.
