## What it is
Siler is a set of general-purpose high-level abstractions for PHP that provides declarative, function-based routing, HTTP handling, GraphQL, and WebSocket support with zero dependencies. It can be used standalone as a micro-framework or within any framework, with first-class Swoole support for high-performance non-blocking servers.

## Use cases
- build a lightweight php rest api without a framework
- serve http with swoole in php
- add graphql endpoint to a php app
- simple function-based routing in php
- run a websocket server in php
- micro-framework for small php projects

## When to choose
- you want a zero-dependency, function-oriented PHP HTTP layer
- you need Swoole-based non-blocking HTTP servers in PHP
- you prefer flat files and plain functions over framework conventions

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained project - the repository is archived
- you want a full-featured framework with ecosystem and long-term support
- you need modern PHP version compatibility guarantees

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: web-framework, routing, http-server, graphql, websocket, middleware, templating
- domain: web-development, backend, apis
- platform: php, cli
- tags: micro-framework, swoole, flat-files, functional-programming, psr-compliant, archived, web-server
