The Koded Web Framework¶

Why?¶

Sometimes we want a prototype, or quick/simple operations, or solutions for building fast web APIs and app backends. And having a full-blown frameworks will eventually weight you down with tons of unnecessary abstractions and dependencies.

Koded offers small footprint with a clean design that follows the HTTP and ReST architectural style. It tends to be very fast and easy to work with.

Minimum application¶

<?php
use Koded\Framework\App;
use Koded\Http\ServerResponse as R;

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

((new App)
    ->route('/', fn() => new R('Hello'))
)();

This fits in a tweet.

Resource Method Representation¶

Koded Framework follows the RMR web architectural pattern, but the developer is free to use whatever it prefers and does not enforce any programming patterns in the application.

However, it is strongly recommended adopting and using RMR because it is aligned nicely with the HTTP ReST concepts. After all, web apps needs fundamental directions and principles, not "perfect" solutions so RMR fits here very well.

ResourceMethodRepresentation

An object in the RESTful system identified by a URL that exposes methods that corresponds to the standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, etc) i.e. a business object (entity).

The HTTP request method that corresponds a Resource method that is executed by the request/URL, which returns a Representation for that resource.

Provides a Resource to clients in a readable format (JSON, XML, PDF, HTML, etc). It is the payload of the response object (processed by the HTTP Method that is sent back to the client).
