- Flexible regular expression routing (inspired by [Sinatra](http://www.sinatrarb.com/))
- A set of [boilerplate methods](#api) for rapidly building web apps
- Almost no overhead => [2500+ requests/second](https://gist.github.com/878833)

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

1. PHP 5.6.x is required
2. Install Router using [Composer](#composer-installation) (recommended) or manually
3. Setup [URL rewriting](https://gist.github.com/874000) so that all requests are handled by **index.php**
4. (Optional) Throw in some [APC](http://pecl.php.net/package/APC) for good measure

Composer Installation
---------------------

[](#composer-installation)

1. Get [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/)
2. Require Router with `php composer.phar require gabrielbull/router`
3. Install dependencies with `php composer.phar install`

Example
-------
