Aperture
========

[](#aperture)

Aperture is a super simple Laravel package to make sharing and storing unchanging database data easy and effective. Essentially, it provides a quick interface to dump and restore information from a database table. It is build so that, if needed, it should be able to handle unlimited rows without running out of memory.
