Create REST APIs and clients with AngularJS and the LoopBack Node.js framework

Recently, I've been looking into StrongLoop's LoopBack framework. LoopBack generates Express REST APIs by asking you a few simple questions at the command line. LoopBack lets you swap out different storage layers. For each model you define, you can choose to store it in MongoDB, Oracle, MySQL, or Microsoft SQL Server (or even in memory). Say you decide to store your users in MongoDB but your user's gift cards in MySQL (for transactions). Even if you started writing your code with gift cards stored in MongoDB, LoopBack's database abstraction layer makes switching a one-liner. Furthermore, LoopBack has SDKs for generating REST API clients in AngularJS, Android, and iOS. In short, LoopBack is a powerful tool for generating REST APIs that you can extend to scaffold client-side code.
