API Platform is an open-source web application framework used to generate RESTful web APIs following the resource oriented architecture architectural pattern[3].
The server part is written in PHP, and based on the Symfony framework, and the client parts are written in JavaScript and TypeScript.
Features[edit]
API Platform was design to speed up the development of APIs.[4][5]
It contains three components:[6]
- A backend for the API endpoints, supporting different input and output formats, including JSON-LD, GraphQL[7], Hydra, JSON:API, XML, Comma-separated values, YAML, or HAL.
- An API documentation backend, based on the Swagger software, using OpenAPI specification formats.
- A back-office administration interface, built on top of React (JavaScript library) Admin, as well as a tool to scaffold a Progressive Web App in React, Vue.js, Next.js, React Native for mobile application, and others.
On the backend side, it is compatible with RDF vocabularies (including Schema.org) and lets you generate PHP data models from available schemas. These data models can be persisted using different DBMS, including the Doctrine ORM (compatible with SQL-based DBMS and MongoDB, as well as Elasticsearch for read operations).
Releases[edit]
API Platform was first released on June 8, 2015 under the MIT license, and is based on semantic versioning[8].
Real-world usage[edit]
The European Commission is using API Platform to build its new applications [9]. The framework is also used by BeIN Sports [10], KPMG [11], Siemens [12], DHL [13], Accenture [14], EDF [15], General Electric, Meero, London Internet Exchange, Arte, Orange, Renault, BNP Paribas, Decathlon, France 24, France Télévisions, M6 and Libération [16]
Multiple open source projects also use the framework, including Sylius[17][18], CoopCycle [19], or Mobicoop [20], and is popular among the PHP community[21]. It is also used by the academic community.[citation needed]
