PHP framework for rest api?

Question

PHP

Hello! I am an ios developer myself, I can also write for android. I decided to start writing one application in the evenings, but for this I do not have enough backend skills. I studied the php syntax and now I need to choose a framework on which I will write. You need to write a backend for authorization, parsing and some logic and interaction with applications (rest api).
Thanks to all.

Answer 1

I would choose Laravel/Lumen

Answer 2

There is also Slim Framework, used under RESTAPI

Answer 3

If you have not dealt with php frameworks, then yii2 is better. The entry threshold is low, REST is out of the box and there is all the necessary functionality.

Laravel isn't bad either, I find it less logical and more complex, but that's a matter of taste. Symfony is good, but even harder. Here are perhaps the 3 most popular and modern tools.

Answer 4

Any microframework, you can just google "php microframework"

Speaking specifically about the REST API, I recommend Comet: https://github.com/gotzmann/comet
The main criteria for creating were to minimize latency and maximize performance with a large number of competitive requests.
