node-restful is a Node.js library that automatically generates RESTful CRUD routes for Mongoose models, registered on Express or Connect apps. It lets you expose MongoDB-backed resources with standard GET/POST/PUT/DELETE endpoints plus custom routes and before/after hooks in a few lines of code.

Use cases

• generate rest api from mongoose models
• quickly scaffold crud endpoints in express
• expose mongodb collections as a restful api
• add custom routes to auto-generated rest resources
• build a node.js backend api with minimal boilerplate

When to choose

• you use Express with Mongoose/MongoDB and want standard CRUD routes generated automatically
• you want a small library rather than a full framework for building a REST API
• you need hooks to run custom logic before or after resource operations

When to avoid

• your project uses databases other than MongoDB or ORMs other than Mongoose
• you need a modern, actively maintained solution with recent Node.js compatibility
• you want GraphQL or non-REST API styles
