Active Model Serializers

Ruby on Rails offers strong features to write api based server applications. One of these features is Active Model Serializers which help the api designer to have fine control over the response the api application generates to data requests. Active Model Serializers help programmers do this very easily and cleanly without breaking separation of concerns in a rails application. Active Model serializers promote convention over configuration, thus reducinging code bloat and increasing code scalibility and readability.
