LoopBack

LoopBack is a highly-extensible, open-source Node.js framework that enables you to:

• Create dynamic end-to-end REST APIs with little or no coding.
• Access data from Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, MongoDB, SOAP and other REST APIs.
• Incorporate model relationships and access controls for complex APIs.
• Use built-in push, geolocation, and file services for mobile apps.
• Easily create client apps using Android, iOS, and JavaScript SDKs.
• Run your application on-premises or in the cloud.

LoopBack consists of:

• A library of Node.js modules.
• Yeoman generators for scaffolding applications.
• Client SDKs for iOS, Android, and web clients.

LoopBack tools include:

• Command-line tool slc loopback to create applications, models, data sources, and so on.
• StrongLoop Arc, a graphical tool for editing LoopBack applications; and for deploying and monitoring applications.
