What problem does it solve?
Expose DevExpress XAF business objects as a secure OData v4 REST API, enabling frontend apps and external clients to query and manipulate data with built-in XAF security, permission checks, and Swagger documentation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Expose specific or all business objects via OData endpoints with fine-grained permissions via [AllowedAction] and property-level security via [IgnoreDataMember].
- Provide JWT-based authentication, Swagger UI, and endpoints for common CRUD and custom actions, suitable for Blazor Server apps or standalone API services.
- Use cases include building a backend API for a XAF-based SPA or mobile clients, enabling external partners to read/write data with proper security.
Quick Start
Run the Web API host, configure AddWebApi to expose your XAF business objects, and then call the /api/odata endpoints.
