splash – because mongodb is fun :)
Faq
What is it?
A wrapper around the mongo ruby driver .
What are the advantages in comparison to use the bare driver?
- With the bare driver you save and load nested hashes. With splash you load and save document structures as complex as you like.
- Writing queries gets a lot more comfortable and you can abstract writing queries using scopes.
- Single table inheritance is build in.
- Map reduce becomes your friend.

True. The problem, this gem tries to solve, is very common and so there are many different approaches. Yet, I was not really satisfied with most of them, so I created my own.
