A fast JSON:API serializer for Ruby objects, forked from Netflix's fast_api to keep the project alive. It supports compound documents, relationships, caching, and conditional attributes with performance significantly better than ActiveModelSerializers.

Use cases

• serialize rails models to :api format
• fast api responses for ruby web apps
• serialize has_many and belongs_to relationships
• generate compound documents with included records
• replace activemodelserializers for better performance
• add conditional attributes to api serializers
• cache serialized api responses

When to choose

• you need JSON:API-compliant output in a Ruby or Rails app
• serialization speed matters more than ActiveModelSerializers flexibility
• you're migrating from Netflix/fast_api

When to avoid

• you don't follow the JSON:API specification
• you need actively developed new features (v2 is in maintenance mode)
• you need non-JSON serialization formats
