This gem uses Net::HTTP to communicate with the PayPal servers. It has calls for the most common PayPal functions to simplify using PayPal in a Ruby application. I developed this package as a way to call PayPal's REST API with greater transparancy than the paypal-sdk-rest gem has, making development easier. This package can be easily extended by simply adding additional methods (as files) to the lib/paypkg folder. Contributions welcome.
