Programmers with RPG/COBOL and SQL skills, use MDRest4i to quickly and easily build REST APIs and REST Clients, rapidly integrating their IBM i applications with anything REST.
IBM i application experts can enforce their business rules without having to rely on middleware, code abstractions, or connectivity drivers.
Using an ILE framework for IBM i environments, MDRest4i hides code complexities while standardizing flow where possible. MDRest4i’s performance-optimized code structure for parsing and translations means lightning quick response times.
Automate generation of boilerplate API and Consumer RPG/COBOL and SQL code from any integration requirement.
MoreAdd business logic to layered architecture for low code maintenance without limiting flexibility.
MoreUse Wizards to build and edit Open API specs and export editable markdown as technical documentation to MDRest4i Documenter server.
MoreUnify, Construct, Document, and Build with MDRest4i SDK
MDRest4i SDK imports multiple sources of information:
Merges into a complete OpenAPI specification.
Generate logic for JSON parsing/writing, error handling, JWT validation, headers, parameters, logging, methods …
Generate ready-to-code REST API or Client programs.
Handles large, complex JSON payloads.
Write less. Reuse more. Deliver faster.
Design, document, test, and monitor REST APIs with rich, interactive tooling.
Simplified Form-Based OAPI Specification editing.
Accelerate creation of detailed OAPI/SWAGGER documents with little or no expertise using wizards.
SDK Merges imported models and code into OAPI/SWAGGER.

I’ve been an RPG programmer for a long time, and it taps into the power of the IBM i like no other tool I’ve seen.

No middleware, code abstractions, or connectivity drivers. Lean, performance optimized code structure for parsing and translations = lightning quick response times.
Layered code architecture using typical RPGLE constructs and concepts. Hides complex code while standardizing flow where possible. Low code maintenance without limiting flexibility.
Structured code makes development and maintenance of code consistent, and easier to learn and debug. Changes are quicker to design, code, and test. Also allows automated-unit testing.
Structured code architecture makes code generation possible. Accelerate development effort rather than replacing it. Templates allow scalable flexibility without limitations.
Structured code architecture makes code documentation easier and facilitates auto documentation. API docs are critical for benefits associated with self-service economies.
MDRest4i follows industry standards by default. This lowers risk during code transformation and improves re-usability. It also makes training of new staff more cost-effective and efficient.
