ActiveResource is the main class for mapping RESTful resources as models in a Rails application

Active Resource objects represent your RESTful resources as manipulatable Ruby objects. To map resources to Ruby objects, Active Resource only needs a class name that corresponds to the resource name (e.g., the class Person maps to the resources people, very similarly to Active Record) and a site value, which holds the URI of the resources.

ActiveResource vs HTTParty

I'm moving our primary datastore away from ActiveRecord, and instead the data will be accessible through a REST api as JSON. Should I use ActiveResource or HTTParty to access the data? It's primarily going to be read-only for view rendering.
