JSON:API
Last modified on Wed 29 Sep 2021

JSON:API is a specification for tailoring APIs that respond with JSON. Its purpose is to take the API design out of the equation so that developers can focus on API delivery. Due to its structure, tooling can be built around the specification for handling the bulk of the work regarding parsing requests and formatting responses.

If your work consists of building or working with JSON:API APIs, read the specification to understand the concepts behind it. If you're interested in what the community has to say about JSON:API, check out these blog posts:

Standardized APIs

Developers at Infinum have implemented dozens of APIs and the JSON:API query builder is a collection of the most required features a modern API has to offer.

The gem allows a developer to use a nice DSL for the so-called query classes, which are classes that contain JSON:API-related logic for resource manipulation (filtering, sorting, pagination, etc...).

If you're just starting a new project, install the gem and make your life easier.
