Idea
====
Similar to MQL: SMQL allows to perform queries on your database but in a JSON-based language.
This query language is SQL-injection-safe.
However, expensive queries can slow down your machine.
Usage
=====
Example: An easy query in ruby:
User is a ActiveRecord-Model and has a column username.
We want to find all _users_ _where_ _username_ = _"auser"_.
require 'smql'
SmqlToAR.to_ar User, '{"username": "auser"}' # Query in JSON
SmqlToAR.to_ar User, username: "auser" # Query in Ruby
In Rails:
SmqlToAR.to_ar User, params[:smql]
Don't forget to add my gem to the _Gemfile_:
gem 'smql'
