+module ActiveModel
+
+  # == Active \Model \Basic \Model
+  #
+  # Includes the required interface for an object to interact with
+  # <tt>ActionPack</tt>, using different <tt>ActiveModel</tt> modules.
+  # It includes model name introspections, conversions, translations and
+  # validations. Besides that, it allows you to initialize the object with a
+  # hash of attributes, pretty much like <tt>ActiveRecord</tt> does.
+  #
+  # A minimal implementation could be:
+  #
+  #   class Person
+  #     include ActiveModel::Model
+  #     attr_accessor :name, :age
+  #   end
+  #
+  #   person = Person.new(name: 'bob', age: '18')
+  #   person.name # => "bob"
+  #   person.age  # => "18"
+  #
+  # Note that, by default, <tt>ActiveModel::Model</tt> implements <tt>persisted?</tt>
+  # to return +false+, which is the most common case. You may want to override
+  # it in your class to simulate a different scenario:
+  #
+  #   class Person
+  #     include ActiveModel::Model
+  #     attr_accessor :id, :name
+  #
+  #     def persisted?
+  #       self.id == 1
+  #     end
+  #   end
+  #
+  #   person = Person.new(id: 1, name: 'bob')
+  #   person.persisted? # => true
+  #
+  # Also, if for some reason you need to run code on <tt>initialize</tt>, make
+  # sure you call +super+ if you want the attributes hash initialization to
+  # happen.
+  #
+  #   class Person
+  #     include ActiveModel::Model
+  #     attr_accessor :id, :name, :omg
+  #
+  #     def initialize(attributes={})
+  #       super
+  #       @omg ||= true
+  #     end
+  #   end
+  #
+  #   person = Person.new(id: 1, name: 'bob')
+  #   person.omg # => true
+  #
+  # For more detailed information on other functionalities available, please
+  # refer to the specific modules included in <tt>ActiveModel::Model</tt>
+  # (see below).
