The Web API Framework in DataFlex

Introduction

Welcome to this DataFlex Learning Center course on the Web API Framework. In this course, we explore how to build structured and scalable REST APIs using DataFlex. The Web API Framework adds a powerful layer on top of the existing cWebHttpHandler, giving you the tools to handle HTTP requests in a simple, structured, and maintainable way.

With this framework, you can:

  • Quickly build REST APIs using familiar, object-oriented syntax
  • Drag and drop fields from the DDO Explorer to auto-generate objects
  • Easily implement authentication and authorization using built-in events
  • Convert data to JSON or XML automatically
  • Generate an OpenAPI specification to describe your API — ready for use with tools like Swagger UI, so consumers can instantly explore your endpoints

Whether you're exposing data to external systems or setting up internal services, this framework helps you do it efficiently and right away. Let’s get started.
