An Object Oriented DOM Tree in Ruby

Overview

Arbre is an innovative gem designed to simplify the process of generating HTML directly within Ruby. Originally derived from Active Admin, Arbre aims to keep view layers as Ruby objects. This approach enhances object-oriented design implementation, making the development of user interfaces more seamless and maintainable. Developers can leverage the power of Ruby to create dynamic web pages without compromising the language's capabilities.

With a focus on robustness and flexibility, Arbre eliminates the need for separate templating systems, allowing for an integrated approach to view generation. This results in cleaner, more organized code while improving efficiency in development workflows.
