CT-CORE

CT-CORE (v1.9.72) is a Node.js framework for building REST APIs defined via JSON metadata, reducing boilerplate by enabling API, module, and version definitions in configuration files. It integrates with MongoDB, MySQL/MariaDB, and SQL Server using drivers like Mongoose, mariadb, and mssql. Released on npm with updates as needed, it includes CLI tools for project initialization and generation of API documentation via apidoc. Differentiators include a metadata-driven approach versus code-first frameworks like Express.
