There are many many amazing libraries in the PHP community and with the creation and adoption of the PSRs we don't necessarily need to rely on full stack frameworks to create a complex and well designed software. Choosing which components to use and plugging them together can sometimes be a little challenging.
The goal of this set of packages is to make it easier to do that (without compromising the quality), allowing you to focus on the behaviour of your software.
This project is a simple example of how to use the packages and what can be achieved with them.
You can simply clone (or use this package as skeleton) and run composer run-script --timeout 0 serve, which will expose the port 8080.

with
titleandauthor, no fancy validation for now) - GET /books/{id}: returns a book from the book collection
