A PHP framework that could generate API endpoints based on YAML config files, with form validation and authorization and what not. And with a dynamic database handling all kinds of datas with only 3 or 4 tables.

And then I learnt that APIplatform exists, and does all of that already

Great idea!
Can you give me a list of those PHP API platforms?

Thank you, looks overwhelming to me. Maybe a to hard learning curve.

Yeah you would need solid Symfony (the framework on which APIplatform is based) knowledge first to use it. In the end, it's a great tool for prototyping and small project.
