Restr is basically a wrapper around Ruby‘s Net::HTTP, offering a more RESTfully meaningful interface.

See the Restr class documentation for more info, but here‘s a simple example of RESTful interaction with Restr:

  require 'restr'
  kitten = Restr.get('http://example.com/kittens/1.xml')
  puts kitten['name']
  puts kitten['colour']

  kitten['colour'] = 'black'
  kitten = Restr.put('http://example.com/kittens/1.xml', kitten)
