LoopBack is a highly extensible Node.js framework for building APIs and connecting them to various data sources. It provides a powerful set of tools and features for creating RESTful APIs with minimal code. LoopBack supports multiple database connectors, authentication and authorization mechanisms, and built-in model relations. It offers a dynamic API explorer for testing and documenting APIs, making it easy to develop and maintain API-driven applications.

Compared to other API frameworks like Express.js or Hapi, LoopBack simplifies the process of API development by providing a higher level of abstraction and built-in functionalities. It is actively maintained by the StrongLoop/IBM team and is suitable for building scalable and robust API backends.
