I am in the process of creating an app (cross-platform with Ionic framework) and during my research about app with this framework I found the one created for HabitRPG and it is using an API to retrieve data, it totally suits my app as well, but I don't know where to start to create an API nor what to use.

I allready did some quick test with Spring, NodeJS and Symfony (with FOS) but I'm looking for something really easy to use and to setup but still to have a lot of flexibility (like manage security, users, and data visibility).

Is there a specific technology easy enough to start with ?

If you want to create a Web API and host it, you can perhaps have the look at APISpark (http://restlet.com/products/apispark/). It's an online plateform that allows to design your APIs following REST principles and then host them. The data are also managed by the platform.

Hope it helps. Thierry

It seems to be a really good product unfortunately I can't use services like that but have to make my own (it's a School Project). Anyway by digging more with nodeJS I found Loopback which seems to be really what I am looking for. But I keep your link in mind for my future project :)
Okay I understand well! ;-) There is a free linked product that can help you. It's called Restlet Studio (restlet.com/products/restlet-studio) and it also to design your API and gets corresponding Swagger2 structure. You can then use either the tool to generate server skeleton or use swagger-codegen to generate similar things. A lot of technologies are supported there. Hope it helps you.
