ZAPI is a developer-centric API framework that streamlines building, testing, and deploying APIs with strong type safety and minimal boilerplate, helping teams deliver backend services faster with fewer errors. It emphasizes a declarative router and schema model that uses types to define request and response formats, providing clear contracts for frontend and backend teams while automatically generating documentation. Zapi abstracts many repetitive tasks such as validation, authentication flows, and error handling so developers can focus on business logic instead of infrastructure plumbing. It integrates smoothly into modern development stacks, supports hot reloading for rapid iteration, and includes a command-line toolchain for scaffolding new endpoints or services with sensible defaults. The framework also supports plugin extensions that add things like rate limiting, caching layers, and telemetry without cluttering core code.
