## What it is
StoreModel is a Ruby gem that wraps JSON-backed database columns (like jsonb) with ActiveModel-like classes using the Rails Attributes API. It lets you define typed attributes, validations, enums, and nested models for structured data stored inside a single JSON column.

## Use cases
- wrap jsonb column in a rails model with typed attributes
- validate data stored in a json column
- replace verbose hash access on json attributes with model objects
- define nested models for json attributes in activerecord
- keep json column logic out of the parent activerecord model

## When to choose
- you store structured, frequently-accessed data in a json/jsonb column in Rails
- you need validations, enums, or nested attributes for JSON-backed fields
- you want to follow single-responsibility by isolating JSON column logic in its own class

## When to avoid
- you only read a few simple keys from a JSON column with no logic around them
- your project is not Ruby on Rails / ActiveRecord based
- the data would be better served by a separate relational table or document database

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: serialization, orm, json, form-handling
- domain: web-development, databases, developer-tools
