As you can see, the methods are quite similar to Active Record's methods for dealing with database
-records. But rather than dealing with
+records. But rather than dealing directly with a database record, you're dealing with HTTP resources (which may or may not be database records).

Active Resource is built on a standard XML format for requesting and submitting resources over HTTP. It mirrors the RESTful routing
built into ActionController but will also work with any other REST service that properly implements the protocol.
