README

Wilson is a PHP micro framework designed for simplicity and performance. It main features are:

• Annotation based routing
• Middleware
• Service Location
• HTTP Request/Response abstraction
• HTTP Caching
• Unit Testing

Its design is based around the Slim and Symfony frameworks, combining elements of both with the goal of creating system which is fast, correct, well documented, and simple.

Usage

At a glance, an application in the framework looks like this:

<?php

// File: public/index.php

require_once "/path/to/vendor/autoload.php";

$api = new Wilson\Api();
$api->resources = array("My\Restful\ResourceA");
$api->dispatch();

<?php

// File: src/My/Restful/ResourceA.php

namespace My\Restful;

class ResourceA
{
    /**
     * @route GET /resource-a/
     */
    function getCollection($request, $response, $services)
    {
        $response->json(array("a", "b", "c"));
    }
    
    /**
     * @route GET /resource-a/{file}.md
     * @where file [a-z]+
     */
    function getRecord($request, $response, $services)
    {
        $response->setBody(get_file($request->getParam("file")));
        $response->setHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain");
    }
}

Look at the wiki for a proper guide through the functionality.
