If I wanted to *just* use this for serialization/deserialization, how would I do that?

Looking over the docs, it looks like Katharsis wants to manage endpoints.

I understand that at a minimum, I'd need to define resources, and repositories.

How would I go about serializing my data, and deserializing into my data? (I'm using Hibernate Entities at the moment).

also, does Katharsis support nested includes? include=child-relationship.grand-child-relationship?

Katharsis has essentially moved to crnk.io, so switch to it and ask question there. I'm a beginner myself. One thing you'll discover soon enough is that json.api is extremely opinionated and dogmatic (to avoid "bike shedding" (get used to reading that word ad nauseum)), so I doubt you'll get help for trying to use it for anything other than a strict json.api implementation.

I've used jsonapi-rb with tons of success. jsonapi doesn't need to be (and more often than not, isn't: ) a whole server framework.
