There should be a public API that allows to render in a hash.

At the moment it seems render returns only a String since it uses to_json. There should be a as_json equivalent publicly accessible.

Hi @vasilakisfil – you are right. I've had that under my radar for a while but somehow forgot about it. As jsonapi-serializable does not depend on ActiveSupport, there would be no #as_json, but the returned hash would be what one would expect from #as_json.
So, basically it's just a matter of removing .to_json here and here. Feel free to open a PR if you have the file open in your text editor already, otherwise I'll do it myself over the weekend.
