PHP API KIT

Is a library kit, aka framework, that helps you to implement a RESTful API using PHP.

It's a simple and very lightweight framework, with a really small footprint, specially designed for APIs development and absolutelly not for MVC applications. Of course its source code architecure has some similarities to MVC frameworks, but instead of using views for output, its outputs are string JSON encoded.

In the case you wanna something for MVC applications give a try on Codeigniter or Zend Framework.

Get started

Clone this repository or download this project. Once you have the source files, you can start working on it. It's documentation and help pages are not ready (yet), but simply by looking at the source code you will be able to understand it.
