Ember 5.3: Under The Hood EmberData Improvements

One of the famous features of Ember, is EmberData. You can read more about it in the fabolous Ember documentation.

The finest state management system that’s out there. It’s easy to use, and handles relationships and caching out of the box. Ember 5.3 comes with some fixes and new features.

EmberData already is quite flexible with adapters and serializers, but RequestManagers should make it even easier to intercept, modify and handle requests making serializers and adapters obsolete eventually (on the path of Polaris version).

RequestManager now comes with REST, and other builders and JSON serializer among with some new caching methods. At this point it’s however widely undocumented and internal so no need to bother with that.
