✉️ Hermes
=========

[](#️-hermes)

*Swift messenger PHP framework with standardized interfaces, extreme customizability, seamless async support, and high performance.*

> ⚠️ **WARNING:**Hermes is in **very early development**. Some core functionality is missing and tests are a work in progress. For now, this is just a **"build in public"** concept. :)

🎯 Design Goals
--------------

[](#-design-goals)

1. **Asynchronous Aware**Tailored for use with asynchronous tools such as Swoole, OpenSwoole, and RoadRunner, enabling efficient handling of concurrent requests.
2. **Standard Surface**Adheres to standard interfaces (e.g., PSR) as much as possible to ensure interoperability with existing tools.
3. **Customizable Core**Provides clear interfaces that can be implemented and swapped out as you like, making it easy to replace first-party components.
4. **Minimized Magic**Avoids magic (magic methods, reflection, etc.) that makes code harder to follow, reduces type safety, and degrades performance. Magic is used **only** where it genuinely improves developer experience (e.g., limited reflection for DI auto-wiring).
5. **Performance Priority**Focuses on performance by using abstractions judiciously, ensuring minimal overhead. Leverages libraries and tools that are optimized for speed and efficiency.
