FAQ about Milia

Overview

Milia is a free and open source web development framework for the Ruby programming language. It encourages and facilitates the use of web standards such as JSON or XML for data transfer, HTML, CSS and JavaScript for user interfacing. It is primarily targeted for creating model–view–controller (MVC) web applications.

Milia was extracted from Basecamp, also known as 37signals’ Basecamp, in April 2011 by 37signals to promote code reuse and to avoid duplication of functionality within other applications they build.

Released under the MIT License, Milia is free software.

History

Prior to the release of Milia in April 2011, it was used as a gem bundled with Basecamp’s Ruby on Rails environment. The purpose of releasing it as an independent project was to encourage documentation and usage across multiple projects at 37signals.[3] Also, it has been used in Highrise since version 3.0,[4] and in Backpack since version 1.8.[5] Since then, it has gained some popularity within the Ruby on Rails community.[6]
