# Returns a hash representing the model. Some configuration can be

#
# The option <tt>include_root_in_json</tt> controls the top-level behavior

# the object's type. The default value for <tt>include_root_in_json</tt>
# option is +false+.

#
# This behavior can also be achieved by setting the <tt>:root</tt> option
# to +true+ as in:
#
# user = User.find(1)
# user.as_json(root: true)
# # => { "user" => { "id" => 1, "name" => "Konata Izumi", "age" => 16,

#
# Without any +options+, the returned Hash will include all the model's
# attributes.
#
# user = User.find(1)
# user.as_json
# # => { "id" => 1, "name" => "Konata Izumi", "age" => 16,
# # "created_at" => "2006/08/01", "awesome" => true}
#
# The <tt>:only</tt> and <tt>:except</tt> options can be used to limit
# the attributes included, and work similar to the +attributes+ method.
#
# user.as_json(only: [:id, :name])
# # => { "id" => 1, "name" => "Konata Izumi" }
#
# user.as_json(except: [:id, :created_at, :age])
# # => { "name" => "Konata Izumi", "awesome" => true }
#
# To include the result of some method calls on the model use <tt>:methods</tt>:
#
# user.as_json(methods: :permalink)
# # => { "id" => 1, "name" => "Konata Izumi", "age" => 16,
# # "created_at" => "2006/08/01", "awesome" => true,
# # "permalink" => "1-konata-izumi" }
#
# To include associations use <tt>:include</tt>:
#
# user.as_json(include: :posts)
# # => { "id" => 1, "name" => "Konata Izumi", "age" => 16,
# # "created_at" => "2006/08/01", "awesome" => true,
# # "posts" => [ { "id" => 1, "author_id" => 1, "title" => "Welcome to the weblog" },
# # { "id" => 2, "author_id" => 1, "title" => "So I was thinking" } ] }
#
# Second level and higher order associations work as well:
#
# user.as_json(include: { posts: {
# include: { comments: {
# only: :body } },
# only: :title } })
# # => { "id" => 1, "name" => "Konata Izumi", "age" => 16,
# # "created_at" => "2006/08/01", "awesome" => true,
# # "posts" => [ { "comments" => [ { "body" => "1st post!" }, { "body" => "Second!" } ],
# # "title" => "Welcome to the weblog" },
# # { "comments" => [ { "body" => "Don't think too hard" } ],
# # "title" => "So I was thinking" } ] }
