3 Active Resource attempts to provide a coherent wrapper object-relational
4 mapping for REST web services. It follows the same philosophy as
5 Active Record, in that one of its prime aims is to reduce the amount of
6 code needed to map to these resources. This is made possible by relying
7 on a number of code- and protocol-based conventions that make it easy for
8 Active Resource to infer complex relations and structures.
10 These conventions are outlined in detail in the documentation
11 for ActiveResource::Base.
