Is fb_graph or Koala ruby gem better than facebooker2, using the facebook graph?

Question

Is the fb_graph gem better?

It seems to be newer, but the facebooker has a lot more people using.

Update:

I looked into koala, and it seems it is a good choice as well.

I also figure out that fb_graph is different than fbgraph. This is the right one:

And there is a new facebooker, that uses that Open Graph API, but it doesnt look as mature as the others:

Answer 1

I've been using Koala and have been very happy. It's very low level - meaning no abstractions that try to do stuff for you. The graph API is very straightforward, so this the best approach.

Answer 2

I ended up using Koala. It seems to be the best choice now. Facebooker2 is still very early stage, and Koala does a great job wrapping everything.

Don't get confused! Facebooker is for the old FB API!

Answer 3

The original Facebooker gem was split into two pieces for the new api - Facebooker2 for front-end helpers/auth and Mogli for back-end open graph api calls. Both are managed by the same person who did the original Facebooker gem - mike mangino - who does a great job of supporting both. Mogli is most directly comparable to Koala.

Answer 4

So far, I'm a big fan of koala, but I've not tried fb_graph. I did post a comparison of a few facebook gems here: http://jeffdeville.com/minifb-vs-koala-vs-mogli-facebook-graph-api-r
