API Platform

PHP framework for building REST and GraphQL web APIs, with a core library and integrations for Symfony and Laravel.

API Platform is a PHP framework for building web APIs with REST and GraphQL. Its core library is a Composer package that the getting-started guide installs as a standalone bundle in an existing Symfony Flex project. The API Platform CLI creates a new project from the Symfony edition, which bundles the core library with Doctrine ORM. The homepage states that Les-Tilleuls.coop sponsors the project.

Worth knowing

A separate integration, API Platform for Laravel, has its own documentation and is not part of this record.
