Responding JSON according to JSON API in controller

I created an rails api to expose my Bottl class. This class has some methods for solving the 99Bottles problem. The song method, for instance, returns the complete lyrics song. My intention is to return a JSON, according to JSON API containing the response of that method.

require_relative '../bottles_logic/bottles'

class SongsController < ApplicationController
  before_action :set_song, only: [:show, :update, :destroy]

  # GET /songs
  def index
    @songs = ::Bottl.new.song

  end
end

My questions are:

What data class are you store in @songs? You must pass the hash to render method, for example, render json: { key: value }. If @songs is an object of your class, you must try to use Serializer or @songs.as_json.
