- It supports **documents' embeding** via an elegent syntax ([Doc](https://abellion.github.io/xenus/#/?id=embedding-documents))
- It handles **relationships** out of the box ([Doc](https://abellion.github.io/xenus/#/?id=relationships))
- It provides an elegent **transformation layer** mechanism for your API resources ([Doc](https://abellion.github.io/xenus/#/?id=resources))
