=head1 DESCRIPTION

Serializer for JSON:API. Takes in a data structure, munge it to conforms to the JSON:API format (potentially based on a provided registry of JSON:API schemas),
and encode it as JSON.

Note that using Dancer2::Plugin::JsonApi in an app will automatically
set C<Dancer2::Serializer::JsonApi> as its serializer if it's not already defined.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

As part of a Dancer2 App: 

    # in config.yaml
    
    serializer: JsonApi  

As a standalone module: 

    use Dancer2::Serializer::JsonApi;
    use Dancer2::Plugin::JsonApi::Registry;

    my $registry = Dancer2::Plugin::JsonApi::Registry->new;

    $registry->add_type( 'spaceship' => {
        relationships => {
            crew => { type => 'person' }
        }
    } );

    $registry->add_type( 'person' );

    my $serializer = Dancer2::Serializer::JsonApi->new( 
        registry => $registry 
    );

    my $serialized = $serializer->serialize([ 
        'spaceship', {
            id => 1,
            name => 'Unrequited Retribution',
            crew => [
                { id => 2, name => 'One-eye Flanagan', species => 'human' },
                { id => 3, name => 'Flabgor', species => 'Moisterian' },
            ]
        }
    ]);
