JSONAPI::Resources (JR) is a Ruby gem that provides a resource-focused framework for building JSON:API compliant API servers on Rails 5.1+. It supplies custom routes, controllers, and serializers so that defining resources with attributes and relationships is enough to make a server spec-compliant.

Use cases

• build a JSON:API compliant API server in Rails
• expose ActiveRecord models as JSON:API resources
• add sorting, filtering, and pagination to a Rails API
• create CRUD endpoints for resources and relationships with minimal code
• serve an API backed by custom objects instead of ActiveRecord
• standardize API response format across a Rails backend

When to choose

• you are building a Rails API and want strict JSON:API spec compliance
• you want a fully functional API with minimal boilerplate code
• you need configurable pagination, caching, sorting, and filtering out of the box
• your resources may be backed by ActiveRecord models or custom objects

When to avoid

• your project is not built on Rails
• you need a plain REST or GraphQL API rather than the JSON:API specification
• you want a framework-agnostic Ruby API library
• you need a standalone API server without a Rails application
