Codeless generation of APIs

1. A method for generating a plurality of application programming interfaces (APIs) in a codeless manner, said method comprising:

generating, by one or more processors of an electronic system, a set of data graphs that identifies relationships between data objects included in a description of a database schema of a database;

generating, by the one or more processors, the plurality of APIs based on the set of data graphs;

publishing, by the one or more processors, the plurality of APIs to a user for selecting an API of the plurality of APIs; and

generating, by the one or more processors, a JavaScript object notation based model (JSON-based model) associated with the selected API, wherein the selected API is added to an application that uses the selected API for exchanging data with the database using the JSON-based model;

wherein during execution of the application, the JSON-based model is instantiated into a JS object based on the JSON-based model's behavioral description in the JS file and the JSON-based model's property description in the JSON file.

2. The method of claim 1 , said method further comprising: receiving, by the one or more processors from the user, a set of credentials of the user to determine what portion of the database is accessible to the user.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the description of the database schema comprises connecting to a data storage that includes the database.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the description of the database schema comprises a set of data objects in the database.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the database is a relational database (RIB), and wherein each data graph represents (i) a table in the RDB and (ii) the table's relationship with other tables of the RDB.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of data graphs identifies the relationships between the set of data objects by identifying a set of foreign keys.

7. A storage medium, comprising a computer readable hardware storage device storing instructions executable by one or more processors of an electronic system to implement a method for generating a plurality of application programming interfaces (APIs) in a codeless manner, said method comprising:

generating, by the one or more processors, a set of data graphs that identities relationships between data objects included in a description of a database schema of a database;

generating, by the one or more processors, the plurality of APIs based on the set of data graphs;

publishing, by the one or more processors, the plurality of APIs to a user for selecting an API of the plurality of APIs; and

generating, by the one or more processors, a JavaScript object notation based model (JSON-based model) associated with the selected API, wherein the selected API is added to an application that uses the selected API for exchanging data with the database using the JSON-based model;

wherein during execution of the application, the JSON-based model is instantiated into a JS object based on the JSON-based model's behavioral description in the JS file and the JSON-based model's property description in the JSON file.

8. The storage medium of claim 7 , said method further comprising: receiving, by the one or more processors from the user, a set of credentials of the user to determine what portion of the database is accessible to the user.

9. The storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the database is a relational database (RDB), and wherein each data graph represents (i) a table in the RDB and (ii) the table's relationship with other tables of the RDB.

10. The storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the set of data graphs identifies the relationships between the data objects by identifying a set of foreign keys.

11. An electronic system, comprising one or more processors, one or more memories, and a computer readable hardware storage device, said hardware storage device storing instructions executable by the one or more processors via the one or more memories to implement a method for generating a plurality of application programming interfaces (APIs) in a codeless manner, said method comprising:

generating, by the one or more processors, a set of data graphs that identifies relationships between data objects included in a description of a database schema of a database;

generating, by the one or more processors, the plurality of APIs based on the set of data graphs;

publishing, by the one or more processors, the plurality of APIs to a user for selecting an API of the plurality of APIs; and

generating, by the one or more processors, a JavaScript object notation based model (JSON-based model) associated with the selected API, wherein the selected API is added to an application that uses the selected API for exchanging data with the database using the JSON-based model;

during execution of the application, the JSON-based model is instantiated into a JS object based on the JSON-based model's behavioral description in the JS file and the JSON-based model's property description in the JSON file.

12. The electronic system of claim 11 , said method further comprising: receiving, by the one or more processors from the user, a set of credentials of the user to determine what portion of the database is accessible to the user.

13. The electronic system of claim 11 , wherein the database is a relational database (RDB), and wherein each data graph represents (i) a table in the RDB and (ii) the table's relationship with other tables of the RDB.

14. The electronic system of claim 11 , wherein the set of data graphs identifies the relationships between the data objects by identifying a set of foreign keys.
