Michel PHP Framework Core 🚀
===========================

[](#michel-php-framework-core-)

The super-lightweight, versatile, and modern PHP engine. No bloat, no YAML, no XML. Just clean, raw PHP power!

🤔 Why Michel PHP?
-----------------

[](#-why-michel-php)

Modern frameworks are awesome, but they often come with heavy overhead and complex configuration layers. Michel PHP takes a different path:

1. **Raw Speed**: No config parsing (YAML/XML) on every request. Everything is written in pure PHP, making boot time lightning fast.
2. **Modular Architecture**: Swap out the router, template engine, or DI container by changing a single closure. It's built entirely on PSR interfaces.
3. **KISS Principle**: Minimalist, clean, and immediately readable code. No black magic under the hood.

🌟 Core Features
---------------

[](#-core-features)

- ⚡ **Fully PSR-Compliant**: Built on top of PSR-7 (HTTP), PSR-11 (DI Container), PSR-14 (Events), PSR-15 (Middleware), and PSR-3 (Logging).
- 🛠️ **Developer-Centric**: Automatic route discovery, CLI command scanner, and an interactive project initializer.
- 🔒 **Secure out-of-the-box**: Easy maintenance mode toggling, HTTPS redirection, and IP restriction middlewares.
- 🎨 **Minimal & KISS**: Designed to get out of your way. Only use the components you actually need.
