I have used rest assured before and not aware of unirest much. Does anyone used both and can tell me which one is better to automate rest APIs

Based on the below mentioned Pros and Cons, I know. Rest-Assured is best to test and automate Rest API.

Easy integration with TestNG/JUnit.
Follow BDD/Gherkin for readable behaviour driven test cases.
Minimal Documentation.
Designed and Built for API Automation Testing.
Cons
Unirest
No in-built library for Matchers/ Extractors / Assertions.
Simple HTTP Client Library.
RestAssured

how to choose between these two automation tool how Squish is better tool
These tools are simply different and its up to you to decide which suites better your needs & budget:
Appium
open-sourced and it costs nothing.
no support engineers to help you with developing tests and telling how to use Appium in a better way. Its only you to search information in docs and forum, ask questions and spend your own time.
no test recorder, you can simulate similar actions and test locators with appium-desktop, but thats it
requires knowledge of at least 1 programming language (java, python, js, ruby, etc.) to write the tests.
SQUISH
proprietary software with individual licence costing ~7k EUR a year
you can contact support engineers, you already paying for it.
test recorder will help in case you are not familiar with programming
In terms of stability & easy to use it more person & application specific, so I would say: check the points above and made your choice.

I am thinking of this stack to create my first mobile app.
My question is, does Expo has a documentation for integrating third-party API, in my case a Rails API. And if no, it should not be a problem at the stage when you export the project as "Standalone project" to integrate a Rails API right?
Backend and mobile development are different things. Expo is just a library on the top of react native that just uses javascript.
The backend language is just a detail.. does not matter if the project is made with Rails, Laravel, or other framework, because in general they use a HTTP endpoint to create a integration based on a REST architecture
So, the integration is the same compared with other JS projects.
To integrate you just need to make a HTTP request to your API, using the built-in fetch method or a library like axios

When I was googling, I just saw that there are a number of software frameworks present. Like this,
ASP.NET - MonoRail
Java - Google Web Toolkit
JavaScript - Backbone.js
php - CakePHP
Python - Django
Ruby - Ruby on Rails
So my quection is this.
Why we use frameworks and why we spent time to learning frameworks instead of learning more advanced techniques of the programming language?
Are there any disadvantage of using a framework? (specially reduction of speed when using server-side or client-side frameworks)
So frameworks are really just collections of functions and libraries pieced together to make it easier to perform a particular tasks.
In the case of your question, you're looking primarily at web frameworks. Which make it easier to write web servers in these languages. Python Django is a great framework because it handles all of the web stuff for you. (http requests and traffic routing) and allows you to simply specify what code will run when your app takes certain requests.
So in short, frameworks try make it easier to do certain things. Of course different people think different ways to do things are easier, so that's why we have so many different kinds of frameworks.
Feel free to ask any questions. Hope this helps!

I'm currently working on a gem for a Rails app to do very basic operations on an Odata service (retrieve info regarding ski resorts).
I would like to test it properly using Rspec, but cannot manage to write relevant and efficient tests for it.
You can find the gem's code on github, it's pretty basic (core code in lib/anmsm_ruby.rb and tests in the spec folder)
https://github.com/alpinelab/anmsm_ruby
What do you Rspec experts think is the best approach ?
When I test an external web API use the advantage of the VCR gem.
VCR recordes a real HTTP response from the web service and stores it in a .yml fixture, called cassette.
That way you can for example test if the returned array of the all_resorts method has the expected values/items.

I am curious how it works inside a web framework. how to develop with Ruby, I wonder what is the basic need to develop a web framework with ruby
The ability to respond to HTTP requests.
A 70-line, simplistic (but threaded, with some content type handling) server:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/abhinaba/archive/2005/10/14/474841.aspx
Everything else is sugar. The ability to easily map URLs to handlers is an implementation detail. Getting data to the view layer (assuming the view layer isn't just Ruby, a la Markaby) is an implementation detail.
Everything you see in Rails, Sinatra, etc. are implementation details designed specifically to make developing apps easier, normalized, consistent, etc.
