Contributions summary:Shishir primarily focused on improving the performance of the JSON:API serializer. Their contributions involved adding benchmarking tests to compare the speed of the serializer against other libraries like ActiveModelSerializers (AMS). This included creating performance tests for serializing to both JSON strings and Ruby hashes, and incorporating features such as including meta and relationships. The user also added key transformation to the serializer which allows the same key transformation as AMS.
