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 built-in models, relationships, and access controls. LoopBack supports various databases and services, making it versatile for different project requirements.
Compared to other API frameworks like Express.js or Hapi, LoopBack offers a more structured and opinionated approach to API development, reducing the need for manual configuration. It also provides a powerful command-line interface for scaffolding and managing API components.
