ActiveResource

ActiveResource is a tool used by developers to make interacting with web services or APIs easier. It allows them to work with remote data—like customer information stored on a server—as if it were local objects within their application. This means you can create, read, update, or delete data on a server using familiar programming methods, without manually handling complex requests. Essentially, ActiveResource simplifies the process of connecting an application to web-based data sources, making remote data management straightforward and more intuitive for developers.
