Read only ActiveRecord-like interface to query static YAML files

Overview

Frozen_record offers a unique interface to interact with static YAML files, mimicking the functionality of ActiveRecord while maintaining a read-only perspective. This makes it an excellent choice for developers looking to streamline data queries without modifying the underlying data set. The ease of access and the straightforward syntax provide a powerful tool for projects that benefit from static file structures.

By embracing this innovative approach, developers can leverage the simplicity of YAML while enjoying the familiar querying capabilities found in traditional databases. Whether for prototyping, small applications, or backing configurations, Frozen_record brings versatility and efficiency to the table.
