joint-kit v0.0.39

Joint Kit

A server-side toolset for building authorized data layers and RESTful endpoints with NodeJS.

Joint Kit solutions are configuration-driven. Use a JSON-based syntax to rapidly implement operation logic on top of your data schema.

Designed to be flexible. Mix it with existing code (programmatically) -or- use it to dynamically generate an entire server-side method library and RESTful API router with minimal programming.

WIP

Not ready for public use until version 0.1.0 - Syntax and logic are in frequent flux.
