Optimizing Ruby's JSON, Part 1
I'm ok with most of the naming conventions, but the pluralization is one I loathe. The necessity of custom inflections should have been a strong smell, IMO.

Semantically it makes sense. It's not Rails' fault the English language is a terrible serialisation format.

But it can be Rails' fault for choosing to default to a terrible serialisation format.

I agree. I think it also would have been better to explicitly name "collections" as unique from "items".
GooseCollection is more meaningful than Geese (or Gooses).
