  1. MongoMapper Looks Promising

    I’ve been intrigued by schema-free document-oriented databases after tinkering with CouchDB, but haven’t found a way to integrate it into my current projects. I’ve heard John Nunemaker sing the praises of MongoDB in the past and today he has officially released his ActiveRecored inspired database adapter MongoMapper.

    It’s got validations, callbacks, a robust find API, support for easily embedding models, and much more. The code looks almost too good to be true.

    class Person
  include MongoMapper::Document

  key :first_name, String
  key :last_name, String
  key :age, Integer
  key :born_at, Time
  key :active, Boolean
  key :fav_colors, Array
end

    I hope this project becomes a huge success in the Rails community.
