API Platform is a next-generation web framework designed to easily create API-first projects without compromising extensibility
and flexibility:
* Design your own data model as plain old PHP classes or [**import an existing one**](https://api-platform.com/docs/schema-generator/)
from the [Schema.org](https://schema.org/) vocabulary
* **Expose in minutes a hypermedia REST or a GraphQL API** with pagination, data validation, access control, relation embedding,
filters and error handling...
* Benefit from Content Negotiation: [GraphQL](http://graphql.org), [JSON-LD](http://json-ld.org), [Hydra](http://hydra-cg.com),
[HAL](http://stateless.co/hal_specification.html), [YAML](http://yaml.org/), [JSON](http://www.json.org/), [XML](https://www.w3.org/XML/) and [CSV](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4180.txt) are supported out of the box
* Enjoy the **beautiful automatically generated API documentation** (Swagger/OpenAPI)
* Add [**a convenient Material Design administration interface**](https://github.com/api-platform/admin) built with [React](https://facebook.github.io/react/)
without writing a line of code
* **Scaffold a fully functional Single-Page-Application** built with [React](https://facebook.github.io/react/), [Redux](http://redux.js.org/),
[React Router](https://reacttraining.com/react-router/) and [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/) thanks to [the client
generator](https://api-platform.com/docs/client-generator/) (a Vue.js generator is also available)
* Install a development environment and deploy your project in production using **[Docker](https://docker.com)** and [Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io/)
* Easily add **[JSON Web Token](https://jwt.io/) or [OAuth](https://oauth.net/) authentication**
* Create specs and tests with a **developer friendly API testing tool** on top of [Behat](http://behat.org/)

The official project documentation is available **[on the API Platform website](https://api-platform.com)**.
API Platform embraces open web standards (Swagger, JSON-LD, GraphQL, Hydra, HAL, JWT, OAuth, HTTP...) and the [Linked Data](https://www.w3.org/standards/semanticweb/data)
movement. Your API will automatically expose structured data in Schema.org/JSON-LD. It means that your API Platform application
is usable **out of the box** with technologies of the semantic web.
It also means that **your SEO will be improved** because **[Google leverages these formats](https://developers.google.com/structured-data/)**.
Last but not least, the server component of API Platform is built on top of the [Symfony](https://symfony.com) framework,
while client components leverage [React](https://reactjs.org/) (a [Vue.js](https://vuejs.org/) flavor is also available).
* use **thousands of Symfony bundles and React components** with API Platform
* integrate API Platform in **any existing Symfony or React application**
* reuse **all your Symfony and React skills**, benefit of the incredible amount of documentation available
* enjoy the popular [Doctrine ORM](http://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/orm.html) (used by default, but fully optional:
you can use the data provider you want, including but not limited to MongoDB and ElasticSearch)
