Zero Library
============

[](#zero-library)

The Zero Library provides a composer-based project structure for modern (MVC-based) WordPress development.

The Zero Library offers:

- A single central Theme instance that initializes...
- reusable (through composer), configurable and testable modules that encapsulate discrete functionality (NOT WP plugins!)
- and Controllers that separate the application logic from the View using [Twig](http://twig.sensiolabs.org/) templates.
