Slim¶
Slim is a lightweight PHP micro-framework designed for building APIs and small web applications. It provides routing, middleware support, and PSR-7 request/response handling with minimal overhead.
Slim follows the philosophy of doing less: it ships with no ORM, no templating engine, and no authentication layer. Developers add only the components they need.
In a broader sense, slim is also used informally to describe code or classes that are deliberately minimal and focused on a single task.
<?php
use Slim\Factory\AppFactory;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
$app = AppFactory::create();
$app->get('/hello/{name}', function (Request $request, Response $response, array $args): Response {
$response->getBody()->write('Hello, ' . $args['name']);
return $response;
});
$app->run();
?>
