Understanding Slim framework basics

Question

I recently used the Slim framework to create an API. I want to have things clear to me.

1. What exactly is the Slim object?
2. What exactly makes $app->run() call the routing or the methods?
3. Is the RESTful interface itself handled by the Slim() object $app?

Thank you in advance.
