This tag should be used for all questions related to API Platform, a framework to create API-first web projects. API Platform contains a set of tools to build with ease fully-featured hypermedia APIs (modern formats, docs, authorization, filtering, ordering, cache, testing...) and to scaffold clients apps. It is built on top of Symfony components (PHP) and React (JavaScript).
API Platform is a next-generation web framework designed to easily create API-first projects without compromising extensibility and flexibility:

- Benefit from Content Negotiation: JSON-LD, Hydra, HAL, YAML, JSON, XML and CSV are supported out of the box
- Enjoy the beautiful automatically generated API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI)
- Add a convenient Material Design administration interface built with React without writing a line of code
- Scaffold a fully functional Single-Page-Application built with React, Redux, React Router and Bootstrap thanks to the CRUD generator
- Install a development environment and deploy your project in production using Docker
- Easily add JSON Web Token or OAuth authentication
