Overview
UXAPI.io is a SaaS service that allows frontend developers to describe an API in plain language (e.g. people, places, things, etc.) to create and start working with a production ready APIs in minutes.
Who would use this?
Front-end web and app teams often want to start building web apps to demonstrate an idea without the complexity of backend engineering resources. UXAPI provides simple APIs built to industry standards that can be used "out of the box" without having to mess with standing up backend infrastructure.
The consumer of the service is expected to be a front-end developer who doesn't want to or isn't able to set up backend infrastructure to support their API. They are likely to be developing mobile or web apps with React, Angular or other JavaScript frameworks but may be looking for a simple API to support other services.
The primary advantage is ease of use and speed of deployment (have an API up and running in 5 minutes), but other benefits include
- Cloud Native SaaS Service
- Scalable and Available
- Built for speed and resiliency
- Production quality / not a mock service
- Integrated resource protection
- Payload Format Enforcement
- User and Service Account Management
- User Role Based Security
- User Attribute (path variable) Security
- Developer Tools
- Published API contract
- Reusable widgets
- How-to and helper docs

API Design Tools
Give us a few keywords, or give us a spreadsheet, and we'll turn it into an industry standard API complete with documentation you can share with your team or your customers.
API as a Service
We use modern, cloud-native technologies to host your API for the best uptime and response times. API as a Service means you don't have to worry about the complexities of cloud architecture, and you get focus on your application.
Security
Security should never be an afterthought, but it should never get in the way of your project either. We build all our tools with security in mind, so when you need to add user level rules for who gets to do what, it's just a matter of adding a few rules.
