HTTP Software Application Template

HTTP application template for quickly creating simple but powerful web applications and APIs. «Out of the box», the application template is configured to work with JSON for rapid REST API development.

The core of this application template is the httpsoft/http-basis microframework. By default, the devanych/di-container that implements PSR-11 and the monolog/monolog logger that implements PSR-3 are also used. You can easily change the container and logger to your preferred implementations of the corresponding PSRs.
