[ANN]: Stockboy - a data capture and manipulation gem

GEM: https://rubygems.org/gems/stockboy
DOC: http://rdoc.info/gems/stockboy/frames
GIT: https://github.com/avit/stockboy

Stockboy helps you receive and unpack data onto your shelves.

Stockboy is designed for consuming periodic reports or data update files
from multiple sources. Featuring a declarative DSL that allows you to
configure different data sources, each with different formats and field
mappings for straightforward consumption by your application domain.

Features:

* Built-in File, FTP, HTTP, IMAP and SOAP providers.

* Built-in CSV, XML, and XLS format readers.

* Flexible source-to-destination attribute mapping

* Field value translation & normalization (parsing date formats, etc.)

* Filtering rules for different processing workflows

* Works standalone or in tandem with Rails / ActiveRecord

Stockboy is extracted from our work at Guestfolio, and in active use in
our application's back-end. We also use it with additional private
custom extensions, so extensibility (like adding special format readers)
was designed to be a straightforward process from the outset.

Version 0.5.1 is released. Contributions and feedback welcome.

Thanks,
Andrew Vit
