Introduction

Welcome to the SimpleREST wiki !

About me

I’m a french developper / Scrum Master living in Bordeaux, France. You can reach me to goten4 at gmail dot com. I’m absolutely not fluent in english, so if I use Frenglish in this page, please tell me, and correct me ;)

About the project

So why another PHP RESTful framework ? First, because I’m not satisfied by the Zend Framework REST implementation, it’s to RPC-like … And ZF is the only one (to my knowledge) which allow you to use it as a set of libraries. You can take what you like and leave what you don’t. The other framework (symfony, CakePHP, etc.) gives you a whole block and you have to respect all their choices or leave. Once again maybe I’m wrong about that, I didn’t study its for a long time, which drives me to the second reason : what a cool challenge to develop my own framework :D

Interesting links

I must say that the Recess project seems to have a good implementation of REST. But it’s not released for the moment, so I prefer to count on myself ;)
Also, a few days after the beginning of Simple REST, I found this post. Jacob Wright wrote in a few lines a very light REST framework.

Warning

The project is definitely not ready for a production use, but if you like the approach, and if you have some suggestions or corrections, send me an email ;)
