Hello,  
I have an ActiveResource model that loads imperfectly structured json  
from a third party service. I need to catch response before its parsed  
by the model and make a few corrections on the json.  
How should I go about doing this?

thanks,  
Slava

found a way 🙂  
had to overwrite instantiate\_record method inside ActiveResource.
