# Overview

## About

**Sim-Rest** is a very simple and lightweight JSON file based API without dependencies.

## Why a new library?

As I'm a frontend developer, I was looking for a simple API or Headless API to connect with my client side JS frameworks but Most of the them coming with many dependencies and a lot of configurations. That's why I build this simple API and hope it helps you.&#x20;

## Features

* Less than 100 KB (gzip)
* PHP 7+
* Router (GET, POST, DELETE, PUT)
* Pass parameter through router
* JSON file database
* JWT like token based authentication
* Auth protected routes
* Eloquent like DB selector
* Less configuration
* Zero dependencies
