Collector is an implementation of the Repository Pattern for MongoDB. For those new to the Repository Pattern, it is a Facade that isolates the persistence layer from your application. If you're familiar with Rails, or more specifically ActiveRecord or most other ORMs, you'll know that the models and persistence layer are tightly coupled—literally they are the same object. That pattern is a great way to cut your teeth, but ultimately it's a terrible design. Your application does not and should not care about how its data is persisted. Collector will help with that.
_Collector is currently under initial development, and I mean that in the context of [semantic versioning](http://semver.org), which I follow. Initial development is anything with a major version of zero (0.x.x), which means anything may change at any time; there is no public API. I'll do my best not to wildly change anything, but if you upgrade, run your application tests to see if anything breaks. If you don't have application tests then you have failed. Go home and re-think your life choices that have brought you to this point._

### Why is this better than an ORM?
If you don't already know why you need or want the Repository Pattern, then don't use it yet. It took me far longer than it should have to realize the benefits, despite having them explained to me many times. I just never really understood them until I'd actually experienced the pain this pattern solves myself. Once you do, come back and try it out.

I rolled my own application-specific version of the Repository Pattern for each project I worked on before I realized I was using it often enough to merit extracting it into a gem. Right about that time Braintree announced curator, and since both their implentation and mine were very similar—except theirs was further along and had more features—I decided to use theirs instead. But after using it for a few months and then reading through the code to try and contribute back to it, I decided to go back to my own implementation and extract it into a gem after all.
The specific, functional differences are:
