A minimalist, framework-free PHP RESTful API boilerplate you can fork to rapidly build your own CRUD endpoints backend by MySQL.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

It's recommended that you use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to install Rest API.

```
composer create-project restjs/rest-api
```

This will install Rest API and all required dependencies. It requires PHP 8.2 or newer.
