resquel
Lightweight Express.js middleware that converts SQL databases into REST APIs with configurable routes and queries.
What is resquel?
Resquel is an Express.js middleware library that converts SQL databases into REST APIs through configuration. It allows developers to define routes that map directly to SQL queries, automatically generating CRUD endpoints for database tables without writing repetitive API code. The library supports multiple database systems including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server.
Backend developers working with Node.js and Express who need to quickly expose SQL databases as REST APIs, particularly those building applications on the Form.io platform or requiring rapid API prototyping.
Developers choose Resquel because it eliminates boilerplate API code through simple configuration, provides database-agnostic support via Knex.js, and offers flexible query customization while maintaining security through prepared statements.
