RiakREST is a Ruby library providing structured, RESTful interaction with Riak, an open-source document datastore.
Riak is an open-source project developed and maintained by the fine folks at Basho Technologies. Riak combines a decentralized key-value store, a flexible map/reduce engine, and a friendly HTTP/JSON query interface to provide a database ideally suited for Web applications.
RiakREST provides Ruby interaction with Jiak, the HTTP/JSON interface to a Riak cluster, through two different levels of Jiak interaction: Core Client and Resource. Core Client works at the Jiak level and mirrors Jiak internals, whereas, Resource is an abstraction built on top of the Core Client that gives a simplier, RESTful feel.
RestClient (Ruby gem rest-client) is used for RESTful server interaction.
JSON is used for data exchange.
Riak provides the runs the server cluser and provides the Jiak HTTP/JSON interface. store.
