Ask HN: Ruby APIs. Which gems/frameworks are you using nowadays?

2 pointsjcfausto1 comment

I'm curious to know which gems/frameworks do you use to build your Ruby APIs nowadays.

Is Grape or Sinatra still a good choice?

Is there something new on the market for this purpose? If I want to start on this field, which path - most in-demand framework - do you guys recommend to start with?

Best,

These are still a great option if you want a concisely written and highly customized program. I think there's a reason we dont see such a big framework as rails gaining popularity in the node world and thats because people don't want their code hidden behind a big boilerplate. That being said rails is still the best ruby framework for an organization looking for something "safe" and generic.
