🚀 v2.0.0 - Phoenix Performance Edition
The most significant update in PHP-CRUD-API-Generator history!
This release delivers a 10-100x performance boost, modern PSR-4 architecture, and enhanced developer experience. With intelligent caching, type-safe configuration, and improved authentication, your APIs will be faster, safer, and easier to maintain.
⚡ What's New in 2.0
1️⃣ Response Caching System (10-100x Faster!) 🚀
Transform your API performance with intelligent caching:
- File-based caching - Zero external dependencies, works everywhere
- Smart invalidation - Automatically clears cache on create/update/delete
- Per-table TTL - Cache users for 1 minute, products for 10 minutes
- User-specific caching - Different cache per API key or user ID
- Cache statistics - Track hits, misses, file count, total size
- HTTP debug headers -
X-Cache-Hit,X-Cache-TTL,X-Cache-Stored
Real Performance Impact:
Perfect for:
- APIs with <10K requests/day (file driver)
- Read-heavy workloads
- Product catalogs, user listings, reference data
- Any data that doesn't change every second
2️⃣ PSR-4 Config Classes (Type-Safe Architecture) 🏗️
Modern, IDE-friendly configuration system:
- Type-safe getters - Full IntelliSense autocomplete
- Early validation - Catch configuration errors before runtime
- 100% backward compatible - No breaking changes
- Better refactoring - IDE can track usage across codebase
Before vs After:
// OLD (array access - error-prone)
$method = $config['auth_method'];
// NEW (type-safe - IDE validated)
$method = $config->getAuthMethod();
User edits: config/api.php (simple PHP array)
