**WARNING**: Silex is in maintenance mode only. Ends of life is set to June
2018. Read more on `Symfony's blog <http://symfony.com/blog/the-end-of-silex>`_.
Silex is a PHP micro-framework to develop websites based on `Symfony
components`_:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
require_once __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
$app = new Silex\Application();
$app->get('/hello/{name}', function ($name) use ($app) {
return 'Hello '.$app->escape($name);
});
$app->run();
Silex works with PHP 7.1.3 or later.
