MithrilPHP
==========

[](#mithrilphp)

**MithrilPHP** is a lightweight and resilient PHP engine designed to silently protect applications.
Invisible by design, it provides a solid runtime foundation without imposing architectural decisions.

---

🎯 Purpose
---------

[](#-purpose)

MithrilPHP exists to be the **engine behind frameworks**, not the framework itself.

It provides the essential building blocks required to execute applications reliably, while remaining lightweight, explicit, and opinion-free.

---

🛡️ Design Philosophy
--------------------

[](#️-design-philosophy)

Inspired by the Mithril worn by Frodo, MithrilPHP follows a simple principle:

> **You should not feel it — until it saves you.**

- The core protects execution, not business logic
- The domain remains sovereign
- The engine absorbs impact without dictating structure

---

⚙️ What MithrilPHP Is
---------------------

[](#️-what-mithrilphp-is)

- A **core runtime engine**
- A foundation for frameworks
- A silent execution layer
- A console and HTTP backbone

---

❌ What MithrilPHP Is Not
------------------------

[](#-what-mithrilphp-is-not)

- A full framework
- A project skeleton
- An MVC solution
- A DDD or Clean Architecture implementation

Those responsibilities belong to **frameworks built on top of MithrilPHP**.

---

🔧 Core Responsibilities
-----------------------

[](#-core-responsibilities)

- HTTP Kernel and routing execution
- Console Kernel and command execution
- Dependency Injection container
- Environment variable access
- Configuration loading
- Low-level abstractions required by frameworks

---

🪓 Ecosystem
-----------

[](#-ecosystem)

MithrilPHP is designed to power opinionated frameworks.

The first official implementation is:

- **Durin’s Forge** — a framework that forges real applications on top of MithrilPHP

---

📦 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

```
composer require ereborcodeforge/mithrilphp
