Done writing the same CRUD boilerplate for every Spring project.
FlashAPI is coming to the Java/Spring ecosystem, much to the delight of Java developers.
Introducing Spring FlashAPI.
The idea is exactly the same as the Python version:
You define your JPA entities.
FlashAPI takes care of the REST boilerplate.
From a simple entity, you can automatically get:
CRUD
Pagination
Search & dynamic filters
Sorting
CSV / Excel / PDF exports
Bulk operations
Relationships & expand
Soft delete
Audit trail
Rate limiting
OpenAPI / Swagger
Webhooks
WebSocket events
Access control
Multi-tenancy
And most importantly, FlashAPI doesn’t try to take control of your application.
You can start with zero boilerplate, then gradually take back control of your business logic, services, and controllers.
The goal is simple:
Less repetitive CRUD, more time to build your product.
Spring FlashAPI is open source under the Apache 2.0 license.
Java 21+
Spring Boot 3.2+
Spring Data JPA

I’m looking for developers willing to give it a try — and, most importantly, tell me:
What is actually useful… and what isn’t?

What if creating a REST API in Python no longer required writing the same boilerplate over and over again?

I created FlashAPI to answer a very simple problem:

When we develop an application, we often spend time rewriting the same things:

→ RAW

→ pagination

→ search and filters

→ sort

→ permissions

→ exports

→ soft delete

→ audit

→ repetitive endpoints...

The problem is not to know how to develop them.

The problem is having to redevelop them with each project.

With FlashAPI, you define your Python models and you automatically get a complete REST API around them.

⚡ Compatible with FastAPI, Flask and Django

🐍 Pydantic, SQLAlchemy, dataclasses

🔓 Open source under Apache 2.0

🚫 No proprietary runtime, no vendor lock-in

And above all, FlashAPI does not seek to replace your code.

You keep your business logic, your personalized routes and the ability to disable or customize what you don't need.

The objective is simple:

Less boilerplate → more time to build what makes your application unique.

I am now looking for Python developers to test and contribute.
