Slim is a PHP micro-framework that helps you quickly write simple yet powerful web applications and APIs. Slim is easy to use for both beginners and professionals. Featuring a simple, readable syntax, Slim will help get your project up and running in no time flat.
Slim is an ideal starting point if you are familiar with the Sinatra Ruby framework, or if you enjoy the feel of Flask in Python. Slim was created to make your life easier, allowing you to focus on writing a small amount of code to accomplish something, rather than spending time building your application architecture and boilerplate code.
The following are some of the main features:
- Lightweight, simple and fast
Slim tries to be as lightweight and simple as possible without giving up any of the power. It's currently used by companies like Twitter, Yammer, Shopify and many more. Slim is also very fast, up to 5 times faster than other microframeworks. It's also very easy to learn since it has a very small API surface area.
Slim is not a complete framework like Laravel but more like Sinatra on steroids or Flask on a diet. Its goal is not to be all things to all people but rather to provide the perfect base for you to build upon. It does this with its incredible plugin system which greatly extends its functionality.
- Twig Integration
Twig is an extensible, fast, and secure template engine for the latest PHP version. It provides simple, yet powerful syntax for extending HTML/HTML5 templates.
Complex logic can be easily expressed with a single tag or attribute. Each template can contain multiple placeholders which you can use in your output without knowing the number of possible substitutions.
Twig is a template engine that is the default template engine in the latest version of the PHP programming language. It supersedes the older PHP templates and Smarty. Twig is designed to be both easy to use and fast, while at the same time providing powerful features to solve complex problems.
- Modular based
PHP Slim Framework is modular based and flexible. Each feature can be turned off to give the developer maximum control over their application. The use of modules also allows developers to easily extend the functionality with new features and plugins.
The Slim Framework has a dependency injection container that separates the code from the core, allowing for easier unit testing and mocking. The container is also designed to support lazy-loading of application classes, which means you can load only what you need for your application.
- Caching Support available in the core
Caching is a process of storing data in the memory so that when required, it can be easily accessed. Slim provides built-in support for caching, which helps you to store data in the memory and do multiple requests or responses.
