Slim is a PHP micro-framework for quickly writing simple yet powerful web applications and APIs. It provides a fast HTTP router, concentric middleware support, PSR-7 message handling, and PSR-11 dependency injection while staying minimal compared to full-stack frameworks.
Use cases
- build a REST API in PHP
- create a small web application without a heavy framework
- rapidly prototype an HTTP endpoint
- add routing and middleware to a lightweight PHP project
- expose an API that publishes or consumes JSON data
- replace Laravel or Symfony for a minimal microservice
When to choose
- you want a minimal, fast PHP framework with only routing and middleware
- you need PSR-7/PSR-15 compliance and freedom to pick your own components
- you are building small APIs, microservices, or prototypes
- full-stack frameworks like Laravel or Symfony feel like overkill
When to avoid
- you need batteries-included features like ORM, auth scaffolding, or templating out of the box
- you are building a large monolithic application with complex conventions
- your team prefers an opinionated full-stack framework
