Key Differences between versions 0.x and versions 1.x
- Session management has not been used even once in a 0.x implementation as it's always best to keep APIs stateless so it has been removed
- Zircote Swagger PHP has been added for generating OpenAPI documentation from PHP Attributes
- Doctrine has now been upgraded to the stable version 3.5+. This may result in breaking changes, especially for migrations and if you were using / extending some core Doctrine capabilities without specifying return types.
Technical Stack
- Framework: Built on Slim Framework
- Memory Footprint: Lightweight compared to Symfony/Laravel
- Integration: Compatible with Symfony/Laravel libraries
- PHP 8.3+
