MicroAPI Core
=============

[](#microapi-core)

MicroApi Core is an ultra-lightweight, tiny engine based on Symfony packages. It is intended for building **small REST API** applications. Since MicroApi is based on the Symfony architecture, it can be developed to **any level of complexity** if desired. Forming your application based on this engine, you will always be sure that there is **nothing superfluous** in your code.

Features of MicroApi Core out of the box:

- all endpoints are public
- loading all types of env files
- use of attributes
- only two configuration files
- use autoload\_runtime.php
- minimum php version: 8.1
- Docker
- JSON response to an exception
- Makefile
- quality tools
    - PHP CS Fixer
    - PHPStan
