Alternatives to ActiveResource

[Walter McGinnis]

Hi everyone,

I'm sure you saw the news a bit back about ActiveResource being
dropped from Rails core:

https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/f1637bf2bb00490203503fbd943b73406e043d1d

You'll notice in that commit message that it mentions that there are
alternatives out there. I've done some searching and I'm not finding
anything that screams "this is the right thing nowadays". I have a
vague feeling that something obvious or well known is just beyond my
search term choices' reach...

What do you suggest as an alternative to ActiveResource these days?

Cheers,
Walter

same thing happened for me - that comment surprises me since I couldn't find anything either.

then yesterday I saw this which wasn't around when that rails commit was made: http://notes.exomel.com/2012/04/her-an-orm-for-rest-apis.html

Ah, ruby-toolbox.com. Been reading references to that as helpful here
and there. Certainly looks like a good thing to check out in this
case!

Nahum, yeah, HER looks interesting. Will take a look,

Cheers,
Walter

I checked out a number of the ones on ruby-toobox.com and her actually
looks like the nicest of the lot. However it only started on April 1st
which gives me pause.

Looking at the README and doing a code check, it looks pretty nice and
clean though.

Thanks for the pointer.

Cheers,
Walter

ActiveResource just a proof of concept. It will be dropped but
probably will be keept it as a separated gem.

Keep calm and Code on

Cheers,
Rafael.
