PHP standalone RESTful server.

This project is not intended to be another Laravel or Symfony, it is a standalone RESTful server with two major focus:

• Easy to use, just import it with Composer and mostly be ready to run the server.
• Performance, I use the server for two things:
  • Quick proof of concepts. The time that take you to setup this Framework should be less than a minute, for practical purposes investing 15 minutes or more in the setup of a Framework is just too much regarding Proof of concepts.
  • Big data. This projects is open source, however in my professional side I work a lot with REST apis and big data over cloud systems and perform matters, and when I said matters I mean tiny details like this example:
    • Some of the popular Frameworks has a minimum response time of 150ms in average, as first hand that sounds quickly but the truth is that it could be faster
    • This Framework can reach speeds of 30ms because it focus on RESTful nothing else, every other additional is optional, in several cases you have a cached response and just want a super quick response.
