## What it is
A Ruby gem that adds typed b-backed fields to ActiveRecord models, making JSONB columns behave like first-class typed attributes. It also provides generic scopes for querying b columns in PostgreSQL.

## Use cases
- store typed fields in a b column on ActiveRecord models
- query b columns with generic scopes in Rails
- add defaults and arrays to b-backed attributes
- map model attributes to custom store keys in b
- avoid migrations when adding flexible fields to Rails models

## When to choose
- you use Rails with PostgreSQL and want typed, queryable fields inside a b column
- you need flexible schema-less attributes alongside regular ActiveRecord columns

## When to avoid
- you don't use PostgreSQL or ActiveRecord
- you need actively developed new features, since the gem is in maintenance mode

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: orm, serialization, database
- domain: databases, web-development, backend
- platform: ruby
- tags: activerecord, b, postgresql, rails, gem, postgres
