Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are described for automatic generation of specifications for data access layer application programming interfaces (APIs). A server identifies an object-oriented data model comprising (i) a plurality of object structures containing one or more data elements and (ii) one or more relationships between at least two of the object structures. The server generates an API specification package using the object-oriented data model by identifying object structures to include in the API specification package, defining attributes for the API specification package, assigning data access operations to each identified object structure, creating data relationships between at least two of the identified object structures, and converting the identified object structures, the defined attributes for the API specification package, the assigned data access operations, and the created data relationships into one or more files that comprise the API specification package.
