Features
Optimized Router
Slim features a highly optimized HTTP router that runs with zero dynamic memory allocation. The router intelligently prioritizes routes for efficient routing and handling of incoming HTTP requests. Zero dynamic memory allocation helps improve performance and resource utilization.
Scalable
Slim framework enables developers to easily build robust and scalable RESTful APIs. It helps organize endpoints into logical groups, simplifying the management of complex APIs. This scalability ensures your applications can seamlessly scale and handle growing traffic or features.
Automatic TLS
Slim simplifies enabling secure communication by automatically handling TLS certificate installation from Let's Encrypt. This automation simplifies the setup of secure connections, allowing you to protect your applications with minimal effort.
HTTP/2 Support
Slim embraces HTTP/2 protocol to enhance the speed and responsiveness of web applications. HTTP/2 is designed to provide faster and more efficient user experiences by optimizing how data is transferred between servers and clients.
Middleware
Slim provides a rich set of built-in middleware functions that can be used to enhance application functionality and security. You can apply middleware at different levels: global root level, within specific route groups, or on individual routes. Additionally, Slim allows developers to define custom middleware to tailor application behavior to specific requirements.
Data Binding
Slim simplifies the process of binding HTTP request payloads, including JSON, XML, or form data. This feature makes it easy to extract and process data sent in the request body, enabling seamless integration with application logic.
Data Rendering
Slim provides a feature-rich API for sending various types of HTTP responses. You can easily send responses in formats like JSON, XML, HTML, files, attachments, inline content, streams, or Blobs. This flexibility ensures your application can generate and deliver different types of content based on client needs.
Templates
Slim supports template rendering using any template engine of your choice. This feature allows you to generate dynamic HTML content for rendering web pages, email templates, or other view-based responses. You have the freedom to choose the template engine that best suits your project.
Extensible
Slim offers multiple levels of extensibility. You can customize centralized HTTP error handling to gracefully manage errors and exceptions. Additionally, the framework provides an easy-to-extend API that allows you to create custom middleware, plugins, or components to tailor Slim to your specific needs and seamlessly integrate third-party functionality.
