+1 on Active Model Serializer.

Benefits:
1) Easily testable, and OO
2) Has access to current_user (or any other controller method via `scope'). This makes it possible for you to serialize based on who has requested the object
3) Works seamlessly with respond_with 
4) If you have the same relation object multiple times on your object (say user can be created_by, updated_by, etc…) then you have a way to just `embed' the user once.

Also, +1 on rails-api gem as well :-)
