] is an
[MVC] framework for programming web applications in [Ruby],
made up of
several components
:
-* ActiveRecord, an [ORM] library that represents your Models in the [MVC] pattern
-* ActionPack, which provides the View, and Controller parts of [MVC]. The views use ERB
, or "Embedded Ruby"
-* ActiveWebService, which allows you to provide [SOAP] and [XMLRPC] services integrated into your controllers
-* ActiveSupport, which provides many small niceties, and overrides core [Ruby] objects to provide things like:
- * 5.days =
> 432000 (Along with hours, fortnight(s), months, years etc. and kilo, mega, giga, tera-bytes etc.)
- * "person".pluralise =
> "people" (Also singularise to do the opposite)
- * And lots and lots of other language features, that arguably should be in Ruby anyway (such as Object.tap, Symbol-to-proc, returning "" do ... end)
-* ActionMailer, which sort-of also provides the View part of MVC but for sending (and also receiving) emails

The Rails core code provides the "glue" for all these components.
