RABL (Ruby API Builder Language) is a Rails and Padrino ruby templating system
|
|
for generating JSON, XML, MessagePack, PList and BSON. It provides a more
|
|
expressive and powerful solution for generating APIs than ActiveRecord's
|
|
'to_json' method. It is particularly helpful when the JSON representation is
|
|
complex or doesn't match the exact schema defined within the database.
|
|
|
|
With it, one can easily:
|
|
|
|
- Create arbitrary nodes with names based on combining data in an object
|
|
- Pass arguments to methods and store the result as a child node
|
|
- Render partial templates and inherit to reduce code duplication
|
|
- Rename or alias attributes to change the name from the model
|
|
- Append attributes from a child into a parent node
|
|
- Include nodes only if a certain condition has been met
