## Notes

Apiato is a PHP framework built on Laravel for creating API-centric applications, organized with the Porto architectural pattern. A project is created with `composer create-project apiato/apiato`, and the [installation guide](https://apiato.io/docs/getting-started/installation) describes the Laravel configuration it inherits, with MySQL as the default database and SQLite as an option.

## Worth knowing

The project skeleton requires the apiato/core package, which holds the framework code. The skeleton also requires laravel/passport for OAuth 2.0 authentication.
