LoopBack

Welcome to the LoopBack sample application!

LoopBack is an open source API Server built with Node.js for connecting enterprise data to devices and browsers. This sample application simulates an (imaginary) car rental dealer with locations in major cities around the world. They need to replace their existing desktop reservation system with a new mobile app. The app exposes a set of REST APIs for inventory data.
