Kimurai is an open source web scraping framework written in Ruby that simplifies the process of building automated data extraction tools. It provides a clean domain-specific language that allows developers to define scraping logic and data schemas with minimal boilerplate code. Kimurai can use AI-assisted extraction to identify where data resides in HTML pages, automatically generating selectors that are cached for future use so subsequent scraping runs operate with pure Ruby performance. Kimurai supports scraping both static and JavaScript-rendered websites by working with multiple engines, including headless browsers and simple HTTP-based approaches. Developers can also interact with pages using browser automation features such as form filling, clicking elements, or navigating through dynamic content. It includes tools for scheduling, parallel scraping, and structured data output, making it suitable for building reliable large-scale crawlers.

Haru is a free, cross platform, open-sourced software library for generating PDF written in ANSI-C. It can work as both a static-library (.a, .lib) and a shared-library (.so, .dll).

Faraday is an HTTP client library abstraction layer that provides a common interface over many adapters (such as Net::HTTP) and embraces the concept of Rack middleware when processing the request/response cycle. You probably don't want to use Faraday directly in your project, as it will lack an actual client library to perform requests. Instead, you probably want to have a look at Awesome Faraday for a list of available adapters. The best starting point is the Faraday Website, with its introduction and explanation. This library aims to support and is tested against the currently officially supported Ruby implementations. This means that, even without a major release, we could add or drop support for Ruby versions, following their EOL. Currently that means we support Ruby 2.6+. You can also install the faraday_middleware extension gem to access a collection of useful Faraday middleware.

Create search forms for your Ruby on Rails application with Ransack! Ransack is available in two modes: simple and advanced, allowing you to create either simple or advanced search forms. Simple mode works much like MetaSearch and is very easy to set up. The advanced mode makes use of Rails' nested attributes functionality in order to generate complex queries with nested AND/OR groupings, etc. This involves more complexity but does produce some very interesting search interfaces and puts more power in the hands of users. Ransack is compatible with Rails 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 and 6.0, and on Ruby 2.3 and later.
