I’ve been looking for a simple solution to generate a REST api for a mysql database, with minimal to no coding. I need to be able to do simple inserts and updates, and some simple querying (including for number ranges and or clauses).
The options are few and none seems to entirely fit the bill.
- RestSQL is a java layer that has a simple XML configuration. It supports some advanced features (triggers for biz logic, table composition) but doesn’t yet have numeric comparisons for gets.
- DBSlayer is a C program that doesn’t do REST, but does JSON results for SQL queries over HTTP
- PHPRest is a RESTful interface. From the docs, it is not clear if it supports JSON or any queries more complex than by primary key.
