Patent attributes
Some embodiments provide method of generating application programming interfaces (APIs) in a codeless manner. The method generates a schema description of a data storage with which an API-accessible object may have to exchange data (e.g., from which the object may have to read data and/or to which the object may have to write data) to process an API request during the execution of an application. Based on the generated schema description, the method constructs one or more data graphs, with each data graph representing one set of relationships between different sets of fields in the data storage. After generating the data graphs, the method generates a large number of possible API permutations by using the generated data graphs. The method presents the generated sample APIs so that a developer can select and customize one or more APIs while developing an application.
