  Project mention: What are your thoughts on the jsonapi-resources gem? | reddit.com/r/rails | 2021-03-11

  I’m find the json-api standard to be too “full” personally and even when I’m implementing a consumer I’ve never used most of the “features” of it on the app side. For serializing I personally enjoy Blueprinter (https://github.com/procore/blueprinter) which lets you define your own api schema very easily and quickly without getting bogged down.
