• Generates a production-ready, fully-styled interface for managing models
• Automatically handles model associations on forms and in the table display (including automatic nested scaffold support)
• Includes RESTful API that supports XML, YAML and JSON
• Guaranteed to work on Firefox 1+, IE 6+ and Safari 2+
• Gracefully degrades when Javascript is not available
