This is not valid for Ember Data 1.0 beta+, see duplicate answer
Ember-data still supports embedded. You just need the right configuration. Here how you can do it:
DS.RESTAdapter.map('App.Foo',{
bar:{
embedded:'always'
}
})
App.Foo = DS.Model.extend({
bar: DS.belongsTo(App.Bar,{embedded:'always'}),
});
Available values for embedded are: always and load.
load: The child records are embedded when loading, but should be saved
as standalone records. In order for this to work, the child records
must have an ID.
always: The child records are embedded when loading, and are saved
embedded in the same record. This, of course, affects the dirtiness of
the records (if the child record changes, the adapter will mark the
parent record as dirty).
Similar settings apply for HasMany relationship, see this reply for more details
