Klein.php vs Slim Framework for REST APIs?

Klein.php doesn't include authentication out of the box; you need to implement it manually using sessions or tokens, possibly integrating with the service container for dependency sharing.

The README targets PHP 5.3+, but active maintenance might be limited; check the GitHub repository for recent updates and compatibility with PHP 7+ or 8.

Accepted Answer

Use the `$klein->with()` method to prefix routes under a namespace, as shown in the README, allowing modular organization by including route files.

Question 6

Can I use Klein.php for large-scale applications?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires careful structure due to its lightweight nature; leverage route namespacing and service containers for scalability, though you might miss framework-level abstractions.
