What is Measured?
Measured is a Ruby library that encapsulates measurements with their units, allowing developers to work with quantities like weight, length, and volume in a type-safe and precise manner. It solves the problem of handling unit conversions accurately by using Rational numbers to avoid floating-point errors and provides seamless integration with Ruby on Rails for database persistence.
Ruby and Ruby on Rails developers who need to handle measurements and unit conversions in their applications, such as e-commerce platforms, scientific tools, or inventory management systems.
Developers choose Measured for its precision, lightweight design, and native Rails integration without monkey-patching core Ruby classes. It offers a clean, extensible API and avoids the complexity and maintenance issues found in alternative gems.
