CRUD API in Slim

In this course, we’re going to take on the task of building a REST API in PHP. Even if you've never used an API before, the good news is that all applications function in the same way. They take in a request and return a response. When building a web application, that response is returned in an HTML format. When building a REST API, that response is most often returned in a JSON format. We'll be using the Slim framework to manage our code and a SQLite database to manage our data.
