HTTP Server Skeleton for RESTful API
====================================

[](#http-server-skeleton-for-restful-api)

This is a skeleton of a bare-bones RESTful API wired with request parsing, routing, and dependency injection capabilities. It defines the directory structure, router configuration, and the entry point that bootstraps the server.

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

[](#installation)

Install via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to a directory of your choice (say, `/tmp/rest-api-project`):

```
composer create-project --no-dev upscale/http-server-skeleton /tmp/rest-api-project
```

Launch the server via the PHP's built-in web server:

```
php -S 127.0.0.1:8080 /tmp/rest-api-project/server.php
```

Open  in a browser to confirm the server is running.

Performance
-----------

[](#performance)

The project is powered by the lightweight [HTTP server engine](https://github.com/upscalesoftware/http-server-engine) committed to speed and minimalism.
