EmberScreencast 109 - Ember Data 2.0: Overview of Customizing Adapters and Serializers

The default Adapters and Serializers are great, but you aren’t stuck with them. There are two ways of customizing Adapters and Serializers.

The first way is extending the abstract base class (DS.Adapter or DS.Serializer), making sure to write the minimum set of methods.

The second way is extending a fully-functional Adapter or Serializer. The ones built into Ember Data have a rich set of methods that you can overwrite in order to tweak functionality.
