## 1. About 

APIJSON is a JSON based internet communication protocol and an ORM library  
that largely simplifies the process of back-end API development.  
It also allows users to get data more quickly with self-defined form and fewer endpoints requests.

### Features:

### For getting data:

You can get any data by defining the specific information you want and send it to the server. 
You can get different types of data by making just one request to the server. 
It's very convenient and flexible, and dosen't require different API endpoints with multiple requests. 
It provides CRUD(read and write), Fuzzy Search, Remote Function Calls, etc. 
You can also save duplicate data, see request history, etc. 

### For API design:

APIJSON largely reduces API developers' workload by reducing most api design and documentation work. 
With APIJSON, client developers will no longer be suffered from possible errors in documents, 
and it saves communication between server developers and client developers about APIs or documentations. 
Server developers no longer need to worry about compatibility of APIs and documents with legacy apps.

### Song Firework-Katy Parry(Modified for APIJSON)

Do you ever feel like a backend slave 
Repeating CRUD, wanting to make a change? 
Do you ever feel, APIs' so paper thin 
Like a house of cards, one blow from cavin' in? 
Do you ever feel they always complain? 
Urging doc and feedback bugs, even ask your refactoring 
Do you know that there's still a chance for you? 
'Cause there's a powerful tool 
You just gotta depend and configure 
And let it init 
Just start APIs 
They are so easy to try 
'Cause baby, you're a firework 
Come on, show 'em what you're worth 
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh" 
As you give 'em an A-T-M 
Baby, you're a firework 
Come on, let them serve themselves 
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh" 
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe. 

**Tired with endless arguments about HTTP API dev or use?**
