Her is a Ruby ORM-like library that maps REST API resources to Ruby objects, providing an ActiveRecord-style interface for applications powered by a RESTful API instead of a database. It integrates with Faraday middleware and works naturally in Rails projects.

Use cases

• build a Rails app backed by a REST API instead of a database
• query and persist remote API resources with ActiveRecord-like syntax
• map JSON API responses to Ruby model objects
• use find/create/save/update methods against REST endpoints
• replace ActiveRecord models with API-backed models in an existing app

When to choose

• your application consumes a RESTful JSON API as its primary data source
• you want ActiveRecord-style models without a local database
• you are building a Rails or Ruby client for an existing API

When to avoid

• your data lives in a local relational database (use ActiveRecord or Sequel)
• the API is not RESTful or does not return conventional JSON
• you need an actively developed library with frequent releases
