 in an adapter.</p>
<p>Ember Data's default Adapter has some built-in assumptions about
how a <a href="http://jsonapi.org/">REST API should look</a>. If your backend conventions
differ from those assumptions, Ember Data allows either slight adjustments
or you can switch to a different adapter if your backend works noticeably
differently.</p>

check the <a href="../customizing-serializers/">serializer</a> page.)</
