Benefits -------- [](#benefits) `ResponseBuilder` is written for REST API developers by REST API developers, drawing from extensive experience on both sides of API development. It's lightweight, has **no** dependencies, is thoroughly tested, and is simple to use while remaining flexible and powerful. It offers support for [on-the-fly data conversion](docs/conversion.md), [localization](docs/docs.md#messages-and-localization), automatic message building, [chained APIs](docs/docs.md#code-ranges), and [comprehensive documentation](docs/README.md). Moreover, the JSON structure produced by `ResponseBuilder` is designed with **your API users** in mind. Its [well-defined and predictable structure](docs/docs.md#response-structure) makes interacting with your API using `ResponseBuilder` effortless. The simple, consistent JSON responses are easy to consume. **Your** clients will appreciate it! You're also covered in case of emergencies. The provided [ExceptionHandlerHelper](docs/exceptions.md) ensures your API continues to communicate in JSON (not HTML) with its clients, even in unexpected situations. Additionally, it includes [testing traits](docs/testing.md) that help you add PHPUnit-based tests for your `ResponseBuilder` integration with just a few lines of code. Features -------- [](#features) - [Easy to use](docs/examples.md#usage-examples), - [Stable and production ready](https://github.com/MarcinOrlowski/laravel-api-response-builder/releases) - [On-the-fly data object conversion](docs/conversion.md), - [API chaining support](docs/docs.md#code-ranges), - [Localization support](docs/docs.md#messages-and-localization), - Provides traits to help [unit test your API code](docs/testing.md), - Comes with an [exception handler helper](docs/exceptions.md) to ensure your API remains consumable even in unexpected situations. - [No additional dependencies](composer.json).
