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
