The development wiki for the parse-server module.

---

Parse Server is a new project, separate from the hosted Parse API service. Our intention is to provide and support the growth of an open-source API server, and allow new developers to benefit from the powerful Parse client SDKs regardless of where their application logic and data is stored.

See the Parse Server Guide to learn more about using Parse-Server in your project.
