Introduction

Panko is library which is inspired by ActiveModelSerializers 0.9 for serializing ActiveRecord/Ruby objects to JSON strings, fast.

To achieve it's performance:

• Oj - Panko relies Oj since it's fast and allow to serialize incrementally using Oj::StringWriter
• Serialization Descriptor - Panko computes most of the metadata ahead of time, to save time later in serialization.
• Type casting — Panko does type casting by it's self, instead of relying ActiveRecord.
