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, allowing developers to work with different databases seamlessly.
Compared to other API frameworks like Express.js, LoopBack offers a higher level of abstraction and comes with built-in support for API documentation, user authentication, and role-based access control. It is actively maintained by the StrongLoop/IBM team and is suitable for building scalable and secure API applications.
