Slim is a PHP micro framework that helps you quickly write simple yet powerful web applications and APIs.
At its core, Slim is a dispatcher that receives an HTTP request, invokes an appropriate callback routine, and returns an HTTP response. That’s it.
A Slim app contains routes that respond to specific HTTP requests. Each route invokes a callback and returns an HTTP response. To get started, you first instantiate and configure the Slim application. Next, you define your application routes. Finally, you run the Slim application.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- HTTP Router – provides a fast and powerful router that maps route callbacks to specific HTTP request methods and URIs. It supports parameters and pattern matching.
- Middleware – build your application with concentric middleware to tweak the HTTP request and response objects around your Slim app.
- PSR-7 support – supports any PSR-7 HTTP message implementation so you may inspect and manipulate HTTP message method, status, URI, headers, cookies, and body.
- Dependency injection – supports dependency injection so you have complete control of your external tools. Use any PSR-11 ContainerInterface implementation.
