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
* Easily access data from Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, MongoDB, SOAP and other REST APIs
* Incorporate model relationships and access controls for complex APIs
* Run your application on-premises or in the cloud
* Use built-in push, geolocation, and file services for mobile use cases
* Easily create client apps using Android, iOS, and JavaScript SDKs
LoopBack consists of:
* A library of Node.js modules.
* A command line tool, `slc`, for creating and working with LoopBack applications.
* Client SDKs for native and web-based mobile clients.
