# API Platform Core

API Platform Core is an easy to use and powerful system to create [hypermedia-driven REST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HATEOAS) and [GraphQL](https://graphql.org/) APIs.
It is a component of the [API Platform framework](https://api-platform.com) and it can be integrated
with [the Symfony framework](https://symfony.com) using the bundle distributed with the library.

It natively supports popular open formats including [JSON for Linked Data (JSON-LD)](https://json-ld.org), [Hydra Core Vocabulary](https://www.hydra-cg.com), [OpenAPI v2 (formerly Swagger) and v3](https://www.openapis.org), [HAL](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kelly-json-hal-08) and [Problem Details](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7807).

Build a working and fully-featured CRUD API in minutes. Leverage the awesome features of the tool to develop complex and
high performance API-first projects. Extend or override everything you want.
