Slim is a PHP micro-framework that helps you quickly write simple yet powerful web applications and APIs.

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

[](#installation)

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

```
$ composer require slim/slim
```

This will install Slim and all required dependencies. Slim requires PHP 7.4 or newer.

Choose a PSR-7 Implementation & ServerRequest Creator
---------------------------------------------------------

[](#choose-a-psr-7-implementation--serverrequest-creator)

Before you can get up and running with Slim you will need to choose a PSR-7 implementation that best fits your application. A few notable ones:

- [Slim-Psr7](https://github.com/slimphp/Slim-Psr7) - This is the Slim Framework PSR-7 implementation
- [httpsoft/http-message](https://github.com/httpsoft/http-message) & [httpsoft/http-server-request](https://github.com/httpsoft/http-server-request) - This is the fastest, strictest and most lightweight implementation available
- [Nyholm/psr7](https://github.com/Nyholm/psr7) & [Nyholm/psr7-server](https://github.com/Nyholm/psr7-server) - Performance is almost the same as the HttpSoft implementation
- [Guzzle/psr7](https://github.com/guzzle/psr7) - This is the implementation used by the Guzzle Client, featuring extra functionality for stream and file handling
- [laminas-diactoros](https://github.com/laminas/laminas-diactoros) - This is the Laminas (Zend) PSR-7 implementation

Slim-Http Decorators
--------------------

[](#slim-http-decorators)

[Slim-Http](https://github.com/slimphp/Slim-Http) is a set of decorators for any PSR-7 implementation that we recommend is used with Slim Framework. To install the Slim-Http library simply run the following command:

```
composer require slim/http
```

The `ServerRequest` and `Response` object decorators are automatically detected and applied by the internal factories. If you have installed Slim-Http and wish to turn off automatic object decoration then you can use the following statements:

```
