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.

Files:

• index.js - exposes the ParseServer constructor and mutates Parse.Cloud
• analytics.js - handle the /events routes
• Auth.js - Auth object, created to hold config/master/user information for requests
• batch.js - batch handling implemented for PromiseRouter
• cache.js - simple caching for the app and user sessions
• classes.js - handle the /classes routes
• Config.js - Config object, storage for the application configuration and some router information
• crypto.js - uses bcrypt for password hashing and comparison
• DatabaseAdapter.js - Interface for allowing the underlying database to be changed
• ExportAdapter.js - DatabaseAdapter for MongoDB (default)
• facebook.js - helper functions for accessing the Graph API
• files.js - handle the /files routes
• FilesAdapter.js - Interface for allowing the underlying file storage to be changed
• functions.js - handle the /functions routes
• GridStoreAdapter.js - FilesAdapter for storing uploaded files in GridStore/MongoDB (default)
• installations.js - handle the /installations routes
• middlewares.js - Express middleware used during request processing
• PromiseRouter.js - PromiseRouter uses promises instead of req/res/next middleware conventions
• push.js - handle the /push route (not yet implemented)
• rest.js - main interface for REST operations
• RestQuery.js - RestQuery encapsulates everything needed for a 'find' operation from REST API format
• RestWrite.js - RestWrite encapsulates everything needed for 'create' and 'update' operations from REST API format
• roles.js - handle the /roles routes
• Schema.js - Schema handles schema validation, persistence, and modification.
• sessions.js - handle the /sessions and /logout routes
• testing-routes.js - used by internal Parse integration tests
• transform.js - transforms keys/values between Mongo and Rest API formats.
• triggers.js - cloud code methods for handling database trigger events
• users.js - handle the /users and /login routes
