title: How to parse AMF data in Ruby?
body: <p>So I see that there are a few <a href="http://blog.rubyamf.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Rails plugins for</a> <a href="http://www.themidnightcoders.com/products/weborb-for-rails/overview.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">serving AMF</a>. However, is there a library that I can use in a Ruby environment to act as an AMF client: to read AMF data, and deserialize it into a Ruby object?</p>
  
  <p>If not, how could I best go about using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Message_Format#Support_for_AMF" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tools built in other languages</a>? I suppose I could write something in Python or Java or whatever, and call it from Ruby directly via backticks... but I'd first like to ensure that there isn't really any better option.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
