JSONSerializer ember data
`JSONSerializer` will normalize the JSON payload to the JSON API format that the
Ember Data store expects.
You can customize how JSONSerializer processes its payload by passing options in
the `attrs` hash or by subclassing the `JSONSerializer` and overriding hooks:
- To customize how a single record is normalized, use the `normalize` hook.
- To customize how `JSONSerializer` normalizes the whole server response, use the
`normalizeResponse` hook.
- To customize how `JSONSerializer` normalizes a specific response from the server,
use one of the many specific `normalizeResponse` hooks.
- To customize how `JSONSerializer` normalizes your id, attributes or relationships,
use the `extractId`, `extractAttributes` and `extractRelationships` hooks.
The `JSONSerializer` normalization process follows these steps:
- `normalizeResponse` - entry method to the serializer.
- `normalizeCreateRecordResponse` - a `normalizeResponse` for a specific operation is called.
- `normalizeSingleResponse`|`normalizeArrayResponse` - for methods like `createRecord` we expect
a single record back, while for methods like `findAll` we expect multiple methods back.
- `normalize` - `normalizeArray` iterates and calls `normalize` for each of its records while `normalizeSingle`
calls it once. This is the method you most likely want to subclass.
- `extractId` | `extractAttributes` | `extractRelationships` - `normalize` delegates to these methods to
turn the record payload into the JSON API format.
