Hello there!

I’m new to the Ember and Sails scene and I’m running into the issue where Sails.js isn’t returning a valid JSON api document. I figured that some of you might have ran into this problem and know a solution or point me in the right direction of getting everything to pair together nicely.

If you are just getting started with Sails, I’d suggest steering clear of it.
