Slim is a PHP micro framework that helps you quickly write simple yet powerful web applications and APIs.

## Features

- **HTTP Router**: Slim 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**: Slim supports any PSR-7 HTTP message implementation so you may inspect and manipulate HTTP message method, status, URI, headers, cookies, and body.

- **Dependency Injection**: Slim supports dependency injection so you have complete control of your external tools. Use any PSR-11 ContainerInterface implementation.

## Download & Install

We recommend you install the Slim Framework with the Composer dependency manager.

The easiest way to start working with Slim is to create a project using Slim-Skeleton as a base by running this bash command:

```bash

composer create-project slim/slim-skeleton [my-app-name]

```

Replace `[my-app-name]` with the desired directory name for your new application.

You can then run it with PHP's built-in webserver:

```bash

cd [my-app-name]; php -S localhost:8080 -t public

```
