Re: Is CakePHP more suitable for web services or Zend Framework?

Thanks for the recommendation. Although CakePHP may be an overkill, it is flexible enough to handle future new features requested by customer. slimframework may be useful for personal projects but I will stick to a more flexible framework like CakePHP or Zend when making recommendation to my boss.

If you are sure that your project is always going to be web service
only I would suggest start with a framework dedicated for such task.
eg: Slim http://www.slimframework.com/

Both CakePHP and ZendFW will be an overkill
