## What it is
Gibbon is a Ruby gem that wraps MailChimp's Marketing API, exposing its resources through chainable request objects with CRUD verbs. It returns parsed response bodies and headers and is built on Faraday with TLS 1.2+ support.

## Use cases
- manage MailChimp mailing lists from Ruby
- subscribe and unsubscribe contacts via the MailChimp API
- send email campaigns programmatically with MailChimp
- sync e-commerce customers to MailChimp audiences
- query MailChimp campaign reports in a Rails app

## When to choose
- your Ruby or Rails app needs to interact with MailChimp's Marketing API
- you want a thin, idiomatic Ruby client instead of raw HTTP calls
- you need upsert support for MailChimp records

## When to avoid
- you use a different email marketing platform than MailChimp
- you need MailChimp's Transactional (Mandrill) API rather than the Marketing API
- your project runs on Ruby older than 3.1

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: http-client, sdk
- domain: apis, email, developer-tools
- platform: ruby
