Abstract

Carbon.io is an application framework based on Node.js and MongoDB that dramatically accelerates the process of building, testing, and documenting well-designed APIs and microservices.

In this talk we will walk through a series of live examples starting with a simple “Hello World!” app and ending with a full-featured REST API. Topics covered will include endpoint creation, input and output validation, database access, and authentication and access control. Finally, you will see how Carbon.io makes it easy to write unit tests for your APIs and generate beautiful API documentation from your code.
