module ActiveModel
  # == Active Model Serialization
  #
  # Provides a basic serialization to a serializable_hash for your object.
  #
  # A minimal implementation could be:
  #
  #   class Person
  #
  #     include ActiveModel::Serialization
  #
  #     attr_accessor :name
  #
  #     def attributes
  #       {'name' => name}
  #     end
  #
  #   end
  #
  # Which would provide you with:
  #
  #   person = Person.new
  #   person.serializable_hash   # => {"name"=>nil}
  #   person.name = "Bob"
  #   person.serializable_hash   # => {"name"=>"Bob"}
  #
  # You need to declare some sort of attributes hash which contains the attributes
  # you want to serialize and their current value.
  #
  # Most of the time though, you will want to include the JSON or XML
  # serializations. Both of these modules automatically include the
  # ActiveModel::Serialization module, so there is no need to explicitly
  # include it.
  #
  # So a minimal implementation including XML and JSON would be:
  #
  #   class Person
  #
  #     include ActiveModel::Serializers::JSON
  #     include ActiveModel::Serializers::Xml
  #
  #     attr_accessor :name
  #
  #     def attributes
  #       {'name' => name}
  #     end
  #
  #   end
  #
  # Which would provide you with:
  #
  #   person = Person.new
  #   person.serializable_hash   # => {"name"=>nil}
  #   person.as_json             # => {"name"=>nil}
  #   person.to_json             # => "{\"name\":null}"
  #   person.to_xml              # => "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<serial-person...
  #
  #   person.name = "Bob"
  #   person.serializable_hash   # => {"name"=>"Bob"}
  #   person.as_json             # => {"name"=>"Bob"}
  #   person.to_json             # => "{\"name\":\"Bob\"}"
  #   person.to_xml              # => "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<serial-person...
  #
  # Valid options are <tt>:only</tt>, <tt>:except</tt> and <tt>:methods</tt> .
