The project is replaced by [Swift](https://github.com/SwiftAPI/swift). Intro ----- [](#intro) This is a simple, fast and basic PHP framework meant to write API's or simple programs in a fast and easy way. This is a not meant as a replacement for other frameworks, under the hood it uses a lot of the magic from [Symfony](https://symfony.com/), [Dibi](https://github.com/dg/dibi), [Unirest](https://github.com/Kong/unirest-php), [Monolog](https://github.com/Seldaek/monolog) and [Firebase](https://github.com/firebase/php-jwt). Get it from Composer . ``` composer require henrivantsant/henri ``` ### Purpose [](#purpose) This framework is not intended for building websites or big applications. The purpose of this framework is to provide a simple set of basic tools to build simple services, like: - Simple webservice - API proxy to bundle several APIs endpoints into one - Data caching layer - API endpoint for React/Vue front-ends - Logging service - CDN Table of contents ----------------- [](#table-of-contents) 1.
