> Just remembered this gem from @crell at #tnphp: "Invent yet another container? You could call YAC, and shave it!" - [igorwesome](https://twitter.com/igorwesome/status/400716438841098240)

Yet another container is yet another di container for PHP, inspired by [Pimple](https://github.com/fabpot/Pimple) and [LazyMap](https://github.com/Ocramius/LazyMap). Basically blending the two together. When using it the [LazyMap](https://github.com/Ocramius/LazyMap) way it's very performant.

Defining parameters
-------------------

[](#defining-parameters)

```
$c = new Yac\Yac();
$c['env'] = 'dev';
```

Defining services
-----------------

[](#defining-services)

```
$c['session'] = function($c) { return new Session($c->env); };
```

Accessing parameters and services
---------------------------------

[](#accessing-parameters-and-services)

```
$std = $c['std']; // pimple compatible
$std = $c->std;   // "fast" LazyMap way
```

Performance
-----------

[](#performance)

Yac is much faster than Pimple!
