+## Introduction
+
+Active Record Attributes Equality is a very simple rails plugin / gem that forces ActiveRecord to compare the mode's attributes in the presence of two new records.
+
+
+## Example
+
+Consider a User model that holds the notion of users that have a name.
+
+# create_table(:user, :force => true) do |t|
+#   t.string :name, null => false
+# end
+class User < ActiveRecord::Base; end
+
+Default ActiveRecord behavior:
+
+User.new(:name => "John") == User.new(:name => "John") #=> false
+
+Introduce ActiveRecordAttributesEquality and that same instruction will return true:
+
+User.new(:name => "John") == User.new(:name => "John") #=> true
+
