Jb

A simple and fast JSON API template engine for Ruby on Rails

Overview

Jb is a simplified and faster alternative to Jbuilder, a tool used for creating JSON templates in Rails applications. It offers a more straightforward syntax and eliminates the need to learn complex builder syntax. With Jb, developers can easily render JSON templates by writing simple Ruby code.

Features

  • No original builder syntax: Jb eliminates the need to learn complex builder syntax, making it easier for developers to write JSON templates.
  • Better rendering of collections: Unlike Jbuilder, the render_partial method in Jb actually renders the entire collection.
  • Flexible template code: Jb templates can contain any Ruby code that returns a Hash or Array object that responds to to_json.
