restful_json - implement declarative, featureful backend JSON services in Rails 3.1+, 4+ quickly

Hey,

We’ve been using this for a while in production and just made some security fixes today and added it to Rubygems:

https://github.com/rubyservices/restful_json

Just:

gem ‘restful_json’

and follow the directions in the README (it GitHub link above). It should work with Rails 3.1+ and 4+ (we use it in latest Rails 3.2.x currently). If you’re unfamiliar with the Rails 4 way of doing things (activemodel serializers), there will be a slight learning curve, but it is really quick to create new controllers.

Let me know what you think, and submit pull req’s/issues if you have any.

Thanks!

Gary

Looks pretty cool at first glance! I was thinking of abstracting something similar. I’ll try this first, though, on my next new project.
