While other frameworks, such as Laravel, are focusing on implementing every feature or function a developer could ever want, xTend is focused on keeping it fast, adaptable, extendable and non-bloated. This means there is a lot of built-in features you'll find in Laravel you will not find here, however because of the adaptable and extendable nature of xTend it is extremely easy to add a library, or your own script, to enable a certain feature. 2.0.1(9y ago)316ShellPHP ^7.0 Since Aug 1Pushed 9y ago1 watchersCompare [ Source](https://github.com/LiamMartens/xTend)[ Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/liammartens/xtend)[ RSS](/packages/liammartens-xtend/feed)WikiDiscussions master Synced 6d ago READMEChangelog (3)DependenciesVersions (5)Used By (0) [![Banner](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/7e2fc11f7553de60739855b00191816f2e36c2e513d475a501d17e2af1034bd4/68747470733a2f2f7874656e642e6c69616d6d617274656e732e636f6d2f696d672f62616e6e65722e737667)](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/7e2fc11f7553de60739855b00191816f2e36c2e513d475a501d17e2af1034bd4/68747470733a2f2f7874656e642e6c69616d6d617274656e732e636f6d2f696d672f62616e6e65722e737667) Introducing xTend ================= [](#introducing-xtend) ### What is xTend? [](#what-is-xtend) xTend is a PHP MVC framework. While other frameworks, such as Laravel, are focusing on implementing every feature or function a developer could ever want, xTend is focused on keeping it fast, adaptable, extendable and non-bloated. This means there is a lot of built-in features you'll find in Laravel you will not find here, however because of the adaptable and extendable nature of xTend it is extremely easy to add a library, or your own script, to enable a certain feature. ### What's in it for me?
