data returned as String instead of Hash

[yosefsun]

when an event binding is triggered, "data" variable is returned as a String. I actually had to manipulate it in order to cast it into a Hash type :

data.gsub!('":"','"=>"')
data = eval(data)

makes sense to have the gem cast it into a Hash...

assuming that many devs are using websockets for chats and other stuff with user's input, it's a bad idea to use eval.

instead, i was able to get json using these commands:

data.gsub!('\"', '"').gsub!('\\\\','\\') # second gsub may be omitted; but without it, unicode chars(non-latin) wont be converted properly
clean_data = JSON.parse(data[1..-2]) # [1..-2] to remove first and last `"` symbol

hope this help someone :)
