parse-spec is a testing framework for validating API migration from Parse.com to custom backends. Version 0.3.0 is the latest stable release, but it has not been updated since 2015 and is effectively unmaintained. It provides a CLI tool to trace and verify API endpoints by comparing responses from Parse.com and a migrated server. Configuration is done via a JSON file specifying app details and class schemas. There are no actively maintained alternatives specific to Parse migration, but the package is limited to Node.js, has no support for modern ES modules, and its dependencies may be outdated.
