Overview

Surveyor is a robust developer tool designed to streamline the creation and management of surveys within Rails applications. With its intuitive Domain Specific Language (DSL), it helps reduce the tediousness often associated with inputting long surveys, making it accessible for both developers and non-programmers alike. This gem is particularly suited for projects that require user feedback through surveys, quizzes, or questionnaires, and has been optimized for clinical research but can be applied to various survey types.

This Ruby gem integrates seamlessly into Rails applications, allowing developers to easily customize and extend its functionality without the hassle of maintaining a separate code fork. As a Rails engine, it supports both Ruby 2.0.0 and 2.1.1 along with Rails versions 3.2 and 4.0, ensuring compatibility and ease of use in modern web development.
