A modern API for WordPress.

**The current API is still evolving as the project grows closer to v1.0 and may introduce breaking changes.**

Use with confidence, upgrade with care.

What is Silk?
-------------

[](#what-is-silk)

Silk is a library designed as a thin layer on top of WordPress, abstracting away the mess of functions into a clean and expressive object-oriented API. Use as much or little as you want, while maintaining compatibility with everything else that's meant to work with WordPress.

[Read the documentation](https://github.com/aaemnnosttv/silk-docs) for examples and more.

Or check out the [API documentation](https://api.silk.aaemnnost.tv/master/) if you're into that kind of thing.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require silk/silk
```

Contributions are welcome! If you're interested in contributing to the project, please open an issue first. I would hate to decline a Pull Request forged by hours of effort for any reason, so please read the contribution guidelines first.
