During his keynote address at RailsConf 2006, DHH revealed that Ruby on Rails would
include full support for REST and would encourage RESTful application development. Since
that time, REST support has been growing rapidly, and the number of developers implementing
RESTful applications has grown dramatically.
With Rails 2.0, REST will become the default application structure, unless otherwise
specified. This means that, by default, an application will have a remote API built in, and the
application will be exposed to remote access. The client-side library for this API access is
Active Resource. A developer programming with Active Resource can program with local code,
operating on remote resources in a syntax that is nearly identical to that of Active Record.
Like Active Record, Active Resource is also completely functional outside of the Ruby on
Rails framework. Additionally, because Active Resource is merely a client-side implementation
of the server-side API, RESTful clients can be implemented in pretty much any language.
