Is Ruby commonly used for API development?

The question is about Ruby

Answer:

Yes, Ruby is commonly used for API development. Largely due to the Ruby on Rails framework, which helps to simplify the creation of RESTful APIs. Route, controller, and model development is so easy in Rails that it allows the developer to focus on the definition of API endpoints and request handlers. That is pretty important for a developer who wants to create strong back-end services which may interact with every different front-end application, whether it be on the web or desktops, or even on mobile clients. Ruby readability also contributes to API maintainability and scalability over time.
