Hi roro, 

I have a very special purpose API built in Rails for an iPhone and Android 
game. At the moment almost every Model has a custom as_json which does things 
like limit the number of fields returned (for smaller payloads) and to include 
extra relevant information (like data from associations). Some of the as_json 
methods are getting incredibly disgusting as they take modes in which they are 
being viewed (e.g. admin vs client). On top of this many of the controller 
actions build ridiculous Hashes which mix a bunch of different models together 
(especially bad in one particular monolithic method, but unfortunately that 
method has to stay).

So the solution I want to implement is to start rendering JSON Views. JSON 
Views would make a lot of sense for what I'm doing. Especially for the 
monolithic method, it would be amazing to split that up into partials. Is there 
anything which is particularly good for this? Or should I just create a bunch 
of .json.erb files?

Cheers, - Ben
