What is NativeRest?

NativeRest is an open-source REST API framework specifically designed for Delphi and Free Pascal development. It aims to make creating REST APIs simple and fast without requiring a lot of boilerplate code.

Some key features of NativeRest include:

• Routing with support for parameters and custom route matching
• Controllers for handling requests and sending responses
• Dependency injection integrated for managing dependencies
• Integration with databases via datasets for easy CRUD operations
• Middleware support for cross-cutting concerns like authentication and logging
• Generated OpenAPI specification for documentation
• Modular architecture allowing you to use only the parts you need

By handling much of the common functionality needed for REST APIs out-of-the-box, NativeRest allows developers to focus on their business logic instead of building plumbing. It reduces repetitive code and enforces good API design practices for creating clean, maintainable, and scalable REST services.

NativeRest works well for small to large projects and can power everything from simple JSON APIs to complex services handling thousands of requests per second. It works across Windows and Linux platforms. The open-source nature also means NativeRest is customizable to suit specific needs.
