Error and exception handling is already configured for you. Check `config/dependencies.php` file. ### Content Negotiation [](#content-negotiation) Content Negotiation is handled using a query parameter and the HTTP Header "Accept". - The default query parameter is `"output"` and possible values are (`"json" or "xml"`). - If `"output"` parameter is not provided the HTTP Header `"Accept"` is used to determine which `"Content type"`. If is not containing `"application/json"` or `"application/xml"` the default output will be `"json"`. This project use the following packages/components: - [Monolog](https://github.com/Seldaek/monolog) for logging. - [Slim-HttpCache](https://github.com/slimphp/Slim-HttpCache). [Read more](http://www.slimframework.com/docs/features/caching.html) - [Noodlehaus's Config](https://github.com/hassankhan/config) to load `env.php` file. - [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de/) for testing. You can integrate any third-party components found on [Packagist](https://packagist.org): - [Slim-Csrf](https://github.com/slimphp/Slim-Csrf/).
