What is the best PHP api creation class?: i need to create api to be executed in multiple devices

This class can be used to implement a REST API server with MySQLi based CRUD operations.

It provides a base class that can connect to a MySQL database server using MySQLi and execute basic CRUD operations like creating, retrieving, updating and deleting records from a given table.

The REST server class itself extends the base CRUD class and processes requests looking for the requested API function. It dispatches the request if the function exists, or return a 404 response if it does not exist.

The REST class can also retrieve the request parameter data for HTTP GET, POST, PUT and DELETE methods, as well process the API call response setting the appropriate headers and HTTP status.

Applications implementing the API just need to extend the REST server class and implement the supported API calls as class methods.

A demonstration API class is provided to show how to implement a API to manage users with records stored in a database.

This package can build a REST server API from custom classes.

It can register classes that will handle API calls under given server URI.

The main class can handle the requests to the API server and call the respective handler classes.

Optionally a custom class can validate the key value that clients may be required to pass as authorized clients to access the API.

This class can route requests to API calls to handler classes.

It takes as parameters the name of an API call being invoked by a client via HTTP and an array of request parameters.

If the called API function is named Describe, the router class loads a class named Describe from the API directory path and makes the request be handled by that class.

For other API calls, the name of the call up to the / character defines the class that will handle the API call.

The name in front of the first / character defines the API call function name that is invoked on the API call handler class.

The router class checks first if a class file exists with that class name and loads it in that case. The router class also checks if the handler class also has a function with the invoked name before calling that handler class function.

API call error responses are returned in JSON encoded format.

This package implements a REST Web service server that maps URL to API calls.

The main class can register one or more objects that will handle API calls. Handler objects must be of classes based on the REST object class.

The main class also dispatches API calls by extracting the handler object name, API call function name and any parameters from the URL.

The return values of the REST object handler functions are returned JSON encoded as responses to the REST requests.
