## Overview
This class gives your application a RESTful API. All you have to do is set the `api_access` configuration option to `true`
on the appropriate DataObjects. You will need to ensure that all of your data manipulation and security is defined in
your model layer (ie, the DataObject classes) and not in your Controllers. This is the recommended design for SilverStripe
on the appropriate `DataObject`. You will need to ensure that all of your data manipulation and security is defined in

Example `DataObject` `HasMany` and `ManyMany` field-display handling. Only available on `JSONDataFormatter`. Declaring a `getApiFields` method in your `DataObject` (or an `Extension` subclass) allows additional fields to be shown on those relations, in addition to "id", "className" and "href":
```php
namespace Vendor\Project;
use SilverStripe\ORM\DataObject;
class Article extends DataObject {
private static $db = [
'Title'=>'Text',
'Published'=>'Boolean'
];
private static $api_access = true;
/**

];
}
}
```
Example `DataObject` `HasMany` and `ManyMany` field-display handling. Only available on `JSONDataFormatter`. Declaring a `getApiFields` method in your `DataObject` (or an `Extension` subclass) allows existing fields that the formatter returns (like "id", "className" and "href"), to be overloaded:
```php
namespace Vendor\Project;
use SilverStripe\ORM\DataObject;
class Article extends DataObject {
private static $db = [
'Title'=>'Text',
'Published'=>'Boolean'
];
private static $api_access = true;
