  • Fast JSON API

    No Longer Maintained - A lightning fast JSON:API serializer for Ruby Objects.

    • After googling and reading some articles, I found that there are a lot of blogs related to Fast JSON API which is now deprecated and kind of replaced by JSON:API Serializer. These gems are following JSON:API specification and force our API response to meet this specification standard.

  • ActiveModel::Serializers

    ActiveModel::Serializer implementation and Rails hooks

    • On the other hand, we have Active Model Serializers. This gem is also deprecated but has another stable version 0.10. I also found Blueprinter gem. I've never used it before and don't know its limitations.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
