Silence is a framework that allows for a rapid deployment of a RESTful API and a Web application around a relational database. Silence revolves around the concept of projects, which contain everything needed to deploy the previously mentioned elements and can be moved and/or shared between computers or systems with ease.

Check out Silence's wiki page to see how to get started and for detailed documentation.

Silence has been built by the DEAL research group as an educational and teaching tool for its use in several courses of the Degree in Computer Science at the University of Seville.
