LoopBack 3 (deprecated): Detailed Overview & Metrics
LoopBack is a highly extensible Node.js framework for building APIs and connecting them to backend data sources. It provides a set of tools and features that simplify the process of creating RESTful APIs, including model creation, data validation, and access control. LoopBack supports various database connectors and allows you to easily integrate with different data sources.
Compared to other API frameworks like Express.js or Hapi, LoopBack offers a more structured and opinionated approach to API development, making it ideal for quickly building scalable and maintainable APIs. It is actively maintained by the StrongLoop/IBM team and continues to evolve with new features and improvements.
