Introduction
============

[](#introduction)

This framework automatically fits a facade layer around your SQL tables and provides very configurable and powerful API endpoints. Just specify the desired behavior in a json file for each resource and you're ready to go.

Define what is possible to be read back, what is read back by default, how it will look, etc.

Features
========

[](#features)

- URL routing for resources
- CRUD operations
- unlimited related resource nesting in a single request
- functions on resources for custom behavior
- type checking
- pagination
- conditional searching (>, <, LIKE, etc.)
