If it is a JSON string then JSON.parse should do it.  If it is not
then perhaps you need to strip something off to get to be valid JSON.
Not sure what any of this has got to do with Rails.

The ui-box class would indicate that it is a react component: https://github.com/segmentio/ui-box

React components are run client-side, meaning the text you are looking for is inserted into the document after the page runs <script> tags. I would take a look at the Sources tab in chrome, you can find all the loaded scripts there.

I should think that javascript is involved.  I am sure you asked a
similar question before when you were trying to scrape a website and
couldn't find the text in the html.

 Yes, within that context, javascript, how does it happen that the text I'm viewing in the browser isn't visible in source?
