JSON Drop API requirements
JSON Drop API is built on Drupal 11 and is distributed as a self-contained package — no Composer setup required. This makes it fast to deploy, simple to configure, and lightweight enough to run even in constrained environments like shared hosting.
Minimum Requirements:
-
PHP: 8.3+
-
Database: MySQL, MariaDB
JSON Drop API is your powerful Drupal-based backend server leveraging Drupal’s robust JSON:API ecosystem. Rapidly prototype, build, and scale your APIs with minimal configuration and maximum flexibility.
Why JSON Drop API?
JSON Drop API empowers frontend developers (Next.js, Angular, Vue.js) to effortlessly set up a powerful, API-first backend without writing any backend code.
