I am looking for framework, that has some basic framework tools like routing, templates and possibly some other tools useful for web (but also other types of apps), that are not dependent on platform (ex. nodejs/java). I don't see reason why this has to be 100% platform specific. If there's routing and generic request/response object, there can be implementation for example both for node express or for example java servlets with correct mapping and wrappers. Has anyone tried to do that yet? I couldn't find anything.
You may want to take a look at Ktor.

My goal is to implement a generically extendible .NET core web API. The generic refers to modules that can be added at runtime and provide new endpoints as well as functionality. These modules will be developed based on a framework.
Currently I am still deciding if the modules will be included as a DLL or run as a separate process (.exe).
I have the basic understanding of Dependenci Injection regarding the addressing of controllers in a DLL. But now I wonder if and how to realize the whole thing via an own process.
The API should always be addressable via http://localhost/myapi/{endpoint}, i.e. a request to a module should be done via the same URL. For the user / developer of the frontend everything should be presented as one API.
Unfortunately I was not successful on my research and don't know exactly what I have to / should look for specifically. Therefore I hope that you can help me.
Examples are helpful, but I am also keywords or articles, which deal with such a topic, help me further.
kind regards
I want to know if web development can be done using Raku or Perl6?
Like Django for Python, do we have any framework available for Raku?
Id appreciate if you told us which are the libraries available or any tutorial.
Are there any webhosting providers to host Raku web application?
Many folks are using Cro for this. It's a set of libraries that you can pick as needed (and not just for web development), but offers things like:
Routing requests to handlers, and neat ways to express those handlers
WebSocket support integrated neatly into the router
Templating
Testing
There's a simple tutorial as well as a much longer one on making a SPA.
There is also a fresh CRUD server-side tutorial available.
Finally, there's integrated support in the Comma IDE, which includes a Cro project template where you can select the bits you need, indexing of and navigation to routes, and a timeline view that can be used to understand where time is spent during request processing.
There are base images available to support Docker deployment also, to anywhere that supports that.
I built a web framework for Raku called Humming-Bird it's brand new so there are still kinks to work out, but the core works really well! It is intended to be very similar to Sinatra and other frameworks of that style (express.js etc..)
Humming-Bird has most of the typical features of a web framework including but not limited to:
Routing
Middleware
Serving static files
This project is still in fairly early stages, but it offers more than enough to spin up simple web services, and web apps.
I've recently come across the term api and from what I have known api is a interface that connects/integrates between two programs and it can run on any platform.
And again from java we know that it turns it's source code into bytecodes and this bytecode can run on any platforms since it is platform independent.
So my question is does api work/run just like as a bytecode to provide multi-platform functionality
And if not is there any similarities between them or thier process? If please anyone could explain it to me it would be a great help. Thanks in advance.
API does not work like bytecode
Actually, API and Bytecodes are a completely different thing
For Bytecode,
let's try to understand it in java. java compiler compiles a java program then produce bytecode. Then the bytecode is interpreted by java interpreter in different machines and generate different executable files as the requirement of different machines and os.
this is how java maintains it's multi-platform property
Now, API,
API stands for Application Programming Interface. An API is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. In other words, an API is the messenger that delivers your request to the provider that you’re requesting it from and then delivers the response back to you.
there are many types of API's out there
but I think you are referring to Web API and it's multi-platform functionality and how it works.
A Web API is an application programming interface for either a web server or a web browser
A Web API works as server-client architecture.
client request to server through HTTP protocol, server responds to client through HTTP protocol
actually whole api service is provided through HTTP protocol, and this api service can provide to any device using HTTP protocol
this has nothing to do with bytecode
The functions for operating the restful api is quite same. Is there any project that can generate the source code for different platform such android,ios and backend stuff.
I suggest you to use API description languages such Swagger ou RAML.
After having described your RESTful application with a language like this, you will be able to generate things like server skelekons and client sdks with different technologies and languages. You can even generate documentations.
With Swagger, swagger-codegen will do that. swagger-ui may also interest you for the documentation part.
To finish, I would like to mention the Restlet studio that allows to define graphically and quickly the structure of RESTful applications and generate then the corresponding Swagger and RAML contents. The APISpark plaform provides a mecanism to introspect Restlet applications and generate the corresponding contents with these languages. It also allow you to generate a set of server skelekons and client sdks.
Hope it helps you.
I will suggest you to use Spring RESTful webservices starter kit. Which will manage your back-end with centralized database. Also Spring has its own android libs to communicate with REST Apis.
Which API frameworks for node js best suits mobile applications (native or HTML5) or client-side HTML5?
While there are many frameworks (https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Modules#wiki-web-frameworks-full) , like restify, express, I think hapi was built for your needs. Its focus is on your business logic, and favours configuration for simple and fast deployment.
You can find the package in https://npmjs.org/package/hapi, and https://github.com/spumko/hapi
It looks very promising. There's a talk about the framework in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Recv7vR8ZlA where the main contributor talks about what makes an API framework tick.
It supports caching, validations, plug-ins and more (watch the video).
