RAP2-DELOS is the backend API server component of an interface management tool that provides API documentation, Mock data generation, and export functionality for development teams.
The tool addresses the need for centralized API documentation and Mock data management in development workflows. It works by providing a backend service built on Koa and MySQL that stores API definitions, generates Mock responses, and exports documentation. The system is designed as a two-component architecture, with this repository handling the server-side API logic while a separate frontend component built on React provides the user interface.
Teams should adopt this tool if they need collaborative API documentation management and Mock data generation for development and testing. It suits projects where multiple developers need to work with shared API specifications. The tool is explicitly marked as a development tool without production-grade security validation, so it should not be used to serve APIs in production environments. Docker deployment is supported for quick setup, and manual deployment requires Node.js, MySQL, Redis, and pandoc for document generation.
The project maintains active development with regular bugfix releases and feature upgrades. The maintainers provide Docker-based deployment to simplify installation and updates. The tool includes documentation export capabilities through pandoc integration. The project includes an official community support channel for user assistance.
