As part of CloudObjects, I’m working on phpMAE. The PHP Micro API Engine is an opinionated serverless framework. One of its features is that it exposes any class methods as JSON RPC API calls. For public APIs, there’s a new way to make those calls to test a phpMAE class: straight from the CloudObjects directory. It may be a toy feature right now, but I consider it one of the first building blocks for unlocking the future potential of phpMAE.

To demonstrate the functionality, I made an ASCII Art sign generator as a small example. You can view its source code and try it on its directory page. If you are curious to learn more about this new phpMAE feature and how to create your public PHP class, read the full article “ Playing with public phpMAE classes in the directory” on the CloudObjects blog.
