Summary​

During the last 15-minute demo, we went through the typical steps involved in API design and development. These steps often include various trivial tasks that distract us from focusing on the core business logic design. However, with ApiHug, you can leave behind all the tedious and troublesome steps.

ApiHug automates these tasks and generates high-quality designs with a user-friendly and easily understandable structure and code details. In the upcoming lessons, we will delve deeper into exploring the capabilities of ApiHug.

In fact, the techniques used by ApiHug are not entirely new inventions. Platforms like Jhipster, Spring Starter, Grails, and Ruby on Rails have paved the way for similar approaches.

ApiHug builds upon the best practices and lessons learned from these predecessors, making them more practical and straightforward for everyday use. We acknowledge and appreciate the contributions of these platforms in shaping the foundation of ApiHug.
