RespondWith

The respond_with gem is an extension of Sinatra. It is intended to make API responses dead simple.

respond_with relies on the serialize gem which is still in development so you'll need to install that from git.

Add these lines to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'respond_with', :git => 'git://github.com/daneharrigan/respond_with.git'
gem 'serialize',    :git => 'git://github.com/daneharrigan/serialize.git'

And then execute:

$ bundle

require "sinatra"
require "respond_with"

# in a sinatra app
get "/resources/:id.?:format?" do
  @resource = Resource.find(params[:id])
  respond_with ResourceSerializer.new(@resource)
end

Notice we're using a ResourceSerializer. This is built with the serialize gem.
