Pickles f/k/a PICKLES (PHP Interface Collection of Killer Libraries to Enhance Stuff) is an open source framework for the rapid development of RESTful services. The intention of this framework is to allow developers to a means to develop service-oriented backend systems that are completely decoupled from the front end components. Thus allowing the freedom to build the front end implementation(s) using whichever tools they choose, be it Ember.js, Angular.js or some cool new system I’ve yet to hear of.

Special thanks to Geoff Oliver for being a long time user and contributor, Justin Davis for romanticizing the v2 reimagining and Dean Jones for helping to come up with the original PICKLES v1 acronym.
