This gem, `forest_liana`, acts as a backend agent, introspecting your Rails application's data models to dynamically generate an Admin API. It connects your existing Rails backend to the Forest Admin frontend, allowing for out-of-the-box CRUD operations on your data. Developers can extend this API with custom logic and actions to tailor the admin experience.
