Switchtrack publicly released

I am pleased to finally release the initial version of Switchtrack here on SourceForge. Switchtrack provides a framework for developing object oriented, RESTful APIs in PHP. It leverages a router that provides a clean interface between your client-side Javascript framework and database resources in your server environment (although I encourage you to think beyond databases...I've already used Switchtrack to develop clean abstraction layers between my SPAs and services like Twilio and Stripe)

I started working on Switchtrack a few years ago as a way for me to quickly and easily build APIs using PHP. What began as a rudimentary URI parser has now grown into a full-fledged router that exposes a PHP class and its methods as API endpoints. My hope is that Switchtrack will provide an ubiquitous abstraction layer that developers can use to make calls from client-side frameworks like Angular, jQuery, etc to server-side resources.

I hope you find Switchtrack to be a useful "swiss army knife" for your web site development projects.
