A rich framework for building restful API services. hapi is a configuration-centric framework in which authentication requirements, input validation, data caching and pre-fetching, developer documentation, and other essential facilities are provided out-of-the-box and enabled using simple JSON configuration objects. hapi enables developers to focus on writing reusable business logic instead of spending time with everything else.

Usage

Basic Usage

The following is a simple "hello world" service with a single API endpoint:

var Hapi = require('hapi');

// Create a server with a host, port, and options
var server = new Hapi.Server('localhost', 8080);

// Define the route
var hello = {
handler: function (request) {

        request.reply({ greeting: 'hello world' });
    }
};

// Add the route
server.addRoute({
    method : 'GET',
    path : '/hello',
    config : hello
});

// Start the server
server.start();

Now navigate to http://localhost:8080/hello and you should receive 'hello world'.
