RESTworld is a developer-focused framework that turns ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework Core into a fully RESTful, HAL-compliant platform. It combines well-known building blocks with batteries-included conventions so you can deliver production-ready APIs quickly.
- Opinionated pipelines for read and CRUD scenarios, with extensibility hooks when you need to customize.
- Out-of-the-box support for HAL, HAL-FORMS, and OData (query, paging, templated links).
- AutoMapper, resource-based authorization, and API versioning baked into the request flow.
- Telemetry via OpenTelemetry, health endpoints for readiness/liveness/startup, and Aspire integration for local orchestration.
- Follow the Getting Started guide to scaffold your solution and wire up RESTworld services.
- Configure runtime behavior with Configuration, and review Pipeline Overview to choose the right pipeline.
- Secure your endpoints using Authorization and fine-tune DTO mappings with Mapping and Versioning.
