Introducing magic‑api: A Java Rapid Development Framework for HTTP APIs

magic‑api is a Java‑based rapid‑development framework that enables developers to build HTTP API interfaces through a visual UI, automatically mapping them to HTTP endpoints without the need to define Controllers, Services, DAOs, Mappers, XML, or VO objects.
