Overview
--------

[](#overview)

This package contains the components and services required to construct a basic Yolk web application.

Applications extend the `BaseApplication` class, which in-turn extends the `BaseDispatcher` class and use a `Router` in order to pass a `Request` through middlewares to a handler (usually extending `BaseController`). Handlers return a `Response` (usually a subclass of `BaseResponse`) which is sent to the client.
