# Design and Implementation
## Keep it Simple
ActiveModel::Serializers is capable of producing complex JSON views/large object
trees, and it may be tempting to design in this way so that your client can make
fewer requests to get data and so that related querying can be optimized.
However, keeping things simple in your serializers and controllers may
significantly reduce complexity and maintenance over the long-term development
of your application. Please consider reducing the complexity of the JSON views
you provide via the serializers as you build out your application, so that
controllers/services can be more easily reused without a lot of complexity
later.
## Performance
As you develop your controllers or other code that utilizes serializers, try to
avoid n+1 queries by ensuring that data loads in an optimal fashion, e.g. if you
are using ActiveRecord, you might want to use query includes or joins as needed
to make the data available that the serializer(s) need.
