Active Resource allows you to connect with RESTful web services. So, in Rails, Resource classes inherited from +ActiveResource::Base+ and live in +app/models+.
+h3. Configuration and Usage
+
+Putting Active Resource to use is very similar to Active Record. It's as simple as creating a model class
+that inherits from ActiveResource::Base and providing a <tt>site</tt> class variable to it:
+
+<ruby>
+class Person < ActiveResource::Base
+ self.site = "http://api.people.com:3000/"
+end
+</ruby>
