Simple API
Simple API is about empowering a controlled group with the ability to deploy simple APIs, without deploying any infrastructure. Users can select from a pre-defined set of API designs. Each API design lives as a Github repository and uses a JSON file as a data store. The API
design is generated using Swagger. Each repository contains a JSON data store, Swagger API definition and a home page to view and interact with API through its documentation.
