This package provides you a highly opinionated configuration / plugin loading framework for PHP. It provides built in auto-completion support for your IDE, is compatible with major PSR definitions (PSR-4, PSR-11, PSR-14 and PSR-16), extendable and ditches the needs to write yaml, ini or json files.

Every configuration you write is done as a PHP class, everything you can configure is provided by a configurator class, and the resulting configuration state can be cached (if a cache instance is provided) to run your code without loosing performance.

This configuration framework is designed for extendable/pluggable projects, where other developers need to configure your code, or provide their own configuration in their plugins. Therefore, it does not make much sense if you use this library in a small codebase you write for yourself. If you, however, are working on a piece of software that should be extendable your users / clients / customers will love the clean API this way of configuring will provide; even if it might look a bit odd at first glance.
