The most significant update in PHP-CRUD-API-Generator history!
This release represents a complete architectural revolution with 10-100x performance improvements, modern PSR-4 architecture, and enhanced developer experience.
- File-based caching - Zero dependencies, works everywhere
- Smart invalidation - Auto-clear cache on create/update/delete
- Per-table TTL - Cache users for 1 min, products for 10 min
- User-specific caching - Different cache per API key/user
- Cache statistics - Track hits, misses, size
- HTTP headers -
X-Cache-Hit,X-Cache-TTLfor debugging
Performance:
- First request: ~120ms (database)
- Cached request: ~5ms (file read)
- 24x faster for read-heavy APIs! 🚀
- Type-safe getters - Full IDE autocomplete
- Early validation - Catch errors before runtime
- 100% backward compatible - No breaking changes
- Better DX - IntelliSense, refactoring support
- JSON body support - Login now accepts
Content-Type: application/json - Multiple formats - JSON, Form Data, Multipart
- Complete responses -
{token, expires_at, user, role} - Fallback mechanism - Database → Config file auth
Fixed array access on Config objects - now uses proper getters
Added php://input reading for JSON request bodies
Enhanced response with full metadata (token + expiration + user info)

✅ Zero Breaking Changes!
- Update via Composer:
composer update bitshost/php-crud-api-generator - All existing code works immediately
- (Optional) Enable caching: Edit
config/cache.php - (Optional) Use JSON login: Just send
Content-Type: application/json
New Features (Opt-in):
- Caching: Set
'enabled' => trueinconfig/cache.php - Config classes: Framework uses them automatically
- JSON auth: Works alongside existing formats
Endpoint: GET ?table=users&page=1
Without cache: 120ms (database query)
With cache: 5ms (file read)
Improvement: 24x faster ⚡
- Small APIs (<1K req/day): File cache perfect
- Medium APIs (<10K req/day): File cache works great
- Large APIs (>10K req/day): Redis driver (coming soon)
- 🔄 RedisCache (10-1000x faster)
- 🔄 MemcachedCache (distributed)
- 🔄 APCuCache (in-memory)
- ✅ Response caching - IMPLEMENTED!
- ⏳ Webhooks/callbacks
- ⏳ Export/import (CSV, JSON, XML)
- ⏳ Field-level permissions
- ⏳ API versioning
Development: BitsHost Team
Architecture: PSR-4 standards, Cache patterns
Testing: Comprehensive test suite
