A lightweight REST API framework focused on productivity and scalability.

Here you can find the complete YAWP! Guides.

1. At the command prompt, create a new YAWP! API application:

    $ mvn archetype:generate \
        -DarchetypeGroupId=io.yawp \
        -DarchetypeArtifactId=yawp \
        -DarchetypeVersion=LATEST \
        -DgroupId=yawpapp \
        -DartifactId=yawpapp \
        -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT            
   

2. Change directory to yawpapp and start the yawp development server:

    $ cd yawpapp
    $ mvn yawp:devserver
   

3. Using a browser, go to http://localhost:8080/api to check if everything is OK.

4. Using a scaffolder, create a simple endpoint model:

    $ mvn yawp:endpoint -Dmodel=person
   

   Output:

   @Endpoint(path = "/people")
   public class Person {
       @Id
       IdRef<Person> id;
   }    

   Try it:

    $ curl http://localhost:8080/api/people
   

5. Follow the guidelines to start developing your API:

   • Your First API
   • The Javascript Client
   • Todo App List Tutorial
   • API Documentation

Everyone willing to contribute with YAWP! is welcome. To start developing you will need an environment with:
