Any suggestions for lighter frameworks than Laravel?

1

Leaf PHP

LeafPHP is nice. Modular and easy to work with.

Phalcon

Not the lightest, but one of (if not) the fastest. - https://phalcon.io/en-us.

CakePHP

Give https://cakephp.org/ a try. It also is one of the oldest ones out there, so quite mature and stable while being rather lightweight. Serving JSON API seems like a good fit.
