Jolt
====

[](#jolt)

Jolt is a PHP micro framework that helps you quickly write simple yet powerful web applications and APIs.

Jolt takes some inspiration from ExpressJS.

Jolt is not a full featured MVC framework, it is built to be a micro framework that handles routing and carries some basic template rendering. Feel free to use your own template engine such as Twig instead.

You can see more info at the [Jolt wiki](https://github.com/freekrai/jolt/wiki/):

For database, I recommend [Idiorm and Paris](http://j4mie.github.com/idiormandparis/)

If you don't want to use Composer, then you can use the autoloader.

If you're looking for the older version of Jolt, you can [find it here](https://github.com/freekrai/jolt/tree/legacy) in the legacy branch of the repo.
