Hash Keys(symbol vs string) in Ruby

Problem - While using a normal hash in ruby, value for symbol type of key in the hash cannot be retrieved with equivalent string.

Example

developer = {name: 'ashish', company: 'Headerlabs'}
developer[:name] => 'ashish'
developer['name'] => nil

Solution - The Hash class in the Ruby’s core retrieves values by doing a standard == comparison on the keys. For retrieving values interchangeably, ruby provides HashWithInDifferentAccess which treat the symbol keys and string keys equally.

developer = HashWithInDifferentAccess.new
developer[:name] = 'ashish'
developer['name']    =>  'ashish'
