Why? #58

Closed dustinfarris closed 9 years ago

Sorry for my ignorance and if this is the wrong place to ask; but I'm confused as to what problem this package solves. Doesn't Ember Data's built-in REST adapter already support JSON API out of the box?

No. Ember Data currently supports a JSONAPI-like format in the form of ActiveModelAdapter, meant to be used with ActiveModel::Serializer on the Rails side. You can follow the link at https://github.com/kurko/ember-json-api#specification-coverage to see exactly which parts of the specs the library supports.

Ok, the JSON API about page is confusing then.

JSON API is extracted from the JSON transport implicitly defined by Ember Data's REST adapter.

Note that the header of the section is "History" ;) It was initially the case, but things have since diverged. I expect that when JSONAPI 1.0.0 drops that Ember Data and ActiveModel:Serializers will be somewhat updated for better support.

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying and thanks for the link and for this project. I will probably be using it.

Happy to help :) It's hard to keep track of everything when it's moving so fast.
