You want a clean API structure in PHP.

Follow this blueprint to build one.

Start with these core parts:

• Router: This sends requests to the right place.
• Database Singleton: This keeps one connection to MySQL.
• DAO: This holds your SQL queries.
• Controller: This handles the logic.
• ApiResponse: This keeps your JSON format consistent.

How it works:

• Setup your folders and Composer.
• Use an .htaccess file to route traffic to index.php.
• Create a Book Entity for your data.
• Use a DTO to send data to the client.
• Write a Controller to get, save, update, and delete books.

This structure keeps your code organized. It separates the database from the logic.
