magic-api is a Java-based rapid API development framework that lets developers write scripts and configure HTTP interfaces through a web UI, automatically mapping them to HTTP endpoints without defining Controller, Service, Dao, Mapper, XML, or VO classes. It uses the magic-script scripting engine for dynamic compilation and live publishing, with support for multiple relational and non-relational databases, clustering, and Swagger documentation generation.

Use cases

• build REST APIs without writing Java boilerplate
• create HTTP endpoints from a web UI with scripts
• rapidly prototype database-backed APIs
• expose SQL queries as HTTP interfaces
• manage and version API scripts online
• generate Swagger docs for dynamically created APIs
• configure multiple data sources at runtime

When to choose

• you need to ship CRUD or SQL-backed HTTP APIs quickly in a Java/Spring Boot stack
• you want non-Java developers or ops staff to configure APIs via a web UI
• you need live API editing and publishing without restarting the server
• you want built-in multi-datasource, pagination, caching, and permission features for APIs

When to avoid

• you need complex business logic better expressed in typed Java code with full IDE tooling
• your team requires strict code review and static typing for all API logic
• you are not on the JVM/Spring Boot ecosystem
• you need extremely high-performance, low-latency endpoints where a scripting layer adds overhead
