/**
 * Controller is the base class for RESTful API controller classes.
 *
 * Controller implements the following steps in a RESTful API request handling cycle:
 *
 * 1. Resolving response format (see [[ContentNegotiator]]);
 * 2. Validating request method (see [[verbs()]]).
 * 3. Authenticating user (see [[\yii\filters\auth\AuthInterface]]);
 * 4. Rate limiting (see [[RateLimiter]]);
 * 5. Formatting response data (see [[serializeData()]]).
 *
 * For more details and usage information on Controller, see the [guide article on rest controllers](guide:rest-controllers).
