Willow is a marriage 💒 between Slim 4 and Eloquent ORM with Robo as your wedding planner.

Is Willow for you? See Willow on Github

You are just starting the back-end project and need to hit the ground running by building a server side RESTful CRUD based service.
You have your database entities (tables/views) established on a database server and you have admin credentials to the server.
You have experience with or understand ORM components such as Eloquent.
You have some understanding or experience with RESTful API frameworks (such as Slim).

If you answered in the affirmative to all four of these questions then Willow is a good choice.
