API Platform 1.0 released! Version 2.0 announced.

Posted on September 17, 2015September 17, 2015 by Kévin Dunglas

Spread the word: after months of development the first stable version of the API Platform framework has finally been released!

API Platform is a next-generation PHP web framework designed to create API-first projects easily but without compromise in the field of extensibility and flexibility:

  • Use our awesome code generator to bootstrap a fully-functional data model from Schema.org vocabularies with ORM mapping and validation (you can also do it manually)
  • Expose in minutes an hypermedia REST API that works out of the box by reusing entity metadata (ORM mapping, validation and serialization) ; that embraces JSON-LD, Hydra and provides a ton of features (CRUD, validation and error handling, relation embedding, filters, ordering…)
  • Enjoy the beautiful automatically generated API documentation (Swagger-like)
  • Add easily JSON Web Token or OAuth authentication
  • Create specs and tests with a developer friendly API context system on top of Behat
  • Develop your website UI, webapp, mobile app or anything else you want using your preferred client-side technologies! Tested and approved with AngularJS (integration included), Ionic, React and native mobile apps

First of all I want to thank the more than 40 developers that have contributed a thousand of commits! You’re awesome guys and nothing would have been possible without you.

To follow up with good news, API Platform got a dedicated website and an updated documentation:

Last but not least, you can also build an API in any existing Symfony 2.7 project!

The era of new generation of web applications powered by standard, semantic and auto-discoverable is just beginning.

Learn now how API Platform will help you to create such applications.

Another important news: the development of API Platform 2.0 has already begun. This new version will include even more awesome changes:

  • Content negotiation support (already done)
  • Move of the Property Info component under the umbrella of the Symfony project (in progress)
  • The ADR pattern at the hearth of the API system (already done)
  • Better extension system for the Doctrine bridge (already done)
  • Extraction of most of the generic code from ApiBundle to a standalone PHP library, full decoupling of Symfony (in progress)
  • Rewrite of the metadata and configuration system (in progress)
  • Silex and Laravel support (todo)

Expect a release of the 2.0 version before the end of the year!
