Alba is a fast, flexible JSON serializer gem for Ruby, JRuby, and TruffleRuby. It lets you define resource classes that declare attributes and transformations to serialize Ruby objects into JSON.

Use cases

  • serialize ruby objects to for api responses
  • replace activemodelserializers with a faster serializer
  • define presenters for rails or hanami models
  • serialize records with custom attribute transformations
  • speed up rendering in a ruby web api

When to choose

  • you need high-performance serialization in ruby
  • you want a lightweight alternative to ActiveModelSerializers
  • you use JRuby or TruffleRuby and need a compatible serializer

When to avoid

  • you need XML or non-JSON output formats
  • you rely on AMS-specific features without migration effort
