REST Layer is a Go framework for building customizable REST APIs on top of pluggable storage backends. It is inspired by Python Eve and aims to reduce repetitive API boilerplate while still allowing developers to model business-specific resources. The framework focuses on schema-driven resources, validation, filtering, hooks, and storage abstraction. It is useful for teams that want to expose structured data through a REST interface without hand-writing every endpoint from scratch. Its design treats API resources as configurable models that can be connected to different persistence layers. Although it is not as active as newer Go API frameworks, it remains a notable example of a resource-oriented REST framework in Go.
