Api Platform

PHP framework for building production-grade REST and GraphQL APIs with automatic documentation, hypermedia support, and Linked Data formats. Define resources as PHP classes or generate them from OpenAPI, and get a full-featured API with HATEOAS compliance, JSON-LD, Hydra, and JSON:API out of the box.

Trusted by the French government, PrestaShop, Sylius, and political campaigns such as En Marche. Stands apart by supporting both Laravel and Symfony, bridging rapid application development with Domain-Driven Design and Clean Architecture. Built by Les-Tilleuls.coop and widely used across e-commerce, civic tech, and content management.

Key capabilities:

• REST and GraphQL APIs with automatic OpenAPI, SwaggerUI, and GraphiQL documentation
• JSON-LD, Hydra, JSON:API, and HATEOAS support
• Native persistence via Doctrine or Eloquent with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, SQLite, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, and Oracle
• Real-time updates via Mercure protocol
• Client scaffolding for Next.js, Nuxt, Expo, and Quasar
• Optional admin UI built on Material UI and React Admin

Backend teams use it to expose data models as APIs without writing boilerplate: define entity classes, plug in processors and providers for business logic, and get pagination, validation, and filtering automatically. Frontend developers benefit from generated clients and real-time sync. Common deployments include B2B admin dashboards, e-commerce backends, civic applications, and Jamstack-style web apps.
