Abstract(in English) Web APIs are offered in many Web sites for Ajax and mashup, but they have been developed independently since there is no reusable database component matched to Web applications. In this paper, we propose WAPDB, a novel database management system for rapid development of Web applications. WAPDB is designed based on Atom, a set of Web API standards, and provides several features required to Web applications, including efficient access control, an easy extension mechanism, and search and statistics capabilities. By introducing WAPDB, developers are free from implementing these features as well as Web API processing. In addition, the design totally follows the REST architectural style, which gives uniformity and simplicity to applications. We develop a proof-of-concept application with WAPDB, and find great cost effectiveness without significant impacts on performance; in our experiments, the development cost is reduced less than half with overhead of a few msec.
