PHP7 Hmvc framework built for performance & simplicity
----------------------------------------------------------

[](#php7-hmvc-framework-built-for-performance--simplicity)

**Сáша** is a full HMVC framework for PHP. It was built with 2 concept in mind : Simplicity & Performance.

Performance : Everything is timed in order to find bottleneck quickly.

Simplicity : I make some questionable choice in order to avoid too much abstractions. Too many abstraction tends to have a lot of php class / interface loaded and since PHP is born to died at every request, compilation/running time (even with opcache) will be slow.
