JSON service for back end

[common]

Hi everyone.

 

I am looking at creating my application's back end with PHP, which returns all data with Jason or simplexml. I have tried Slim once, but think there should be something easier to use.

 

Can anyone give me suggestions on what I can use which is easy to catch on, and maybe an example?

 

Appreciate it.

 

Kind regards

Slim is probably as simple as its going to get for the sort of thing.

Hi

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

I tried looking at the website, but had some difficulty to understanding/initialize the Slim app object. So I am

not sure if I am doing it correctly now:

 

Can you maybe just help me where I go wrong, or what developing pattern I should follow. Here is something I have already.

<?php
header("Content-Type: application/json");

require 'Slim/Slim.php';
\Slim\Slim::registerAutoloader();

$app = new \Slim\Slim();
$app->get('/users', 'findAll');
$app->get('/users/:id', 'findById');
$app->post('/user/new', 'create');
$app->put('/user/update', 'update');
$app->run();


function create() {
     $app = new \Slim\Slim();
     $request = $app->request; //Slim::getInstance()->request();

     $user->json_decode($request->getBody(),true);

     $id = ....
     echo $id;
}


function update() {
    $request = Slim::getInstance()->request();
    $user = json_decode($request->getBody());
    ...
}

function findAll() {
    $userarr =...
    echo json_encode($userarr);
}


function findById($id) {
    $user = ...
    echo json_encode($user); 
}

?>

Thanks in advance.

you dont have to use a framework to use json.
