The Howdy Glossary

Hapi is a backend, open-source framework for building RESTful APIs and services. The platform was designed to focus on configuration over code and enable developers to build scalable applications without increasing complexity as projects evolve. Written entirely in TypeScript, Hapi emphasizes configuration-driven development rather than relying heavily on coding conventions. Each module within the framework has its own API so that you can build complex server behaviors by composing simpler modules together. Hapi also offers validation options integrated with routes and request payloads.
