REST Layer is a Go API framework for building comprehensive, customizable REST (graph) APIs on top of pluggable storage backends with minimal boilerplate. Resources are defined via schemas, and the framework auto-generates routes, validation, conditional requests, caching, and optional GraphQL support.
Use cases
- build a REST API in Go without writing handlers
- auto-generate routes from resource schemas
- serve a graph API with field selection to reduce round-trips
- validate incoming data before it hits a custom storage handler
- back an API with MongoDB or Elasticsearch with little code
- add conditional requests and caching to an API server
When to avoid
- you need full control over routing and handlers
- you need a framework with frequent recent releases
- your API is not resource/schema oriented
