Slim vs SDDM

Slim's documentation is well organized and detailed, every concept is thoroughly explained and it is very helpful for both advanced users and beginners.

Slim is minimal and that is a good thing if you want to start from there. It can be easily extended and even supports popular packages that are used in Laravel (like Illuminate\Database (eloquent)) for example.

REST fans will love the REST based architecture.

Rack is an interface used in Ruby frameworks used to group and order modules, which most of the time are Ruby classes, and specify between them.

Slim uses a simple concept for it's middleware. By wrapping HTTP requests and responses it unifies the middleware into a single method call.

Contains classes for managing requests, responses, cookies, logging, views, HTTP caching, and more.

Slim doesn't demand that you stick to a fixed folder structure. As long as you load Slim the right way you can do anything from there the way you like it.
