What is LoopBack?

LoopBack is a Node.js mobile backend framework that enables you to:

• Create dynamic REST APIs with little or no coding
• Access data from Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, MongoDB, SOAP and REST APIs
• Incorporate model relationships and access controls
• Run your application on-premises or in the cloud
• Use built-in push, geolocation, and file services
• 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.
