This repository contains the core framework for Oxygen.

Oxygen is a framework for building web applications. At its core, Oxygen is but a small addon to the excellent [Laravel Framework](http://laravel.com/), however with the addition of many extensions, Oxygen becomes a full-featured CMS. The modular nature of Oxygen means that you can pick and choose exactly how much you want, and make the framework into your own magnificent creation specifically fine-tuned to business needs.

For example:

- custom tables to store data: e.g.: inventory stock, concerts, upcoming events, artists, emails, contacts, bookings
- custom logic to drive business operations.

Framework Structure
-------------------

[](#framework-structure)

All parts of the framework depend on the Laravel framework to varying degrees.

**Core packages**:

- [oxygen/data](https://github.com/oxygen-cms/data) - wrapper around Doctrine ORM
- [oxygen/core](https://github.com/oxygen-cms/core) - core framework (includes preferences system), depends on *oxygen/data*
- [oxygen/auth](https://github.com/oxygen-cms/auth) - authentication, depends on *oxygen/core*, *oxygen/data*

**Basic modules** - each of these adds some optional part of the backend interface, they can be mixed and matched as you please.

- [oxygen/mod-import-export](https://github.com/oxygen-cms/mod-import-export) - import/export database content

**Things which the CMS can store**:

- [oxygen/mod-media](https://github.com/oxygen-cms/mod-media) - adds media items (images, videos, audio, PDFs)
- [oxygen/mod-pages](https://github.com/oxygen-cms/mod-pages) - adds pages

**Deprecated**:

- [oxygen/crud](https://github.com/oxygen-cms/crud) - scaffolding for Create/Read/Update/Delete operations - **integrated into oxygen/core, as of Feb 2026**
- [oxygen/theme](https://github.com/oxygen-cms/theme) - theming support - **integrated into oxygen/core**
- [oxygen/preferences](https://github.com/oxygen-cms/preferences) - dynamic preferences configuration - **integrated into oxygen/core, as of Feb 2026**
- [oxygen/mod-auth](https://github.com/oxygen-cms/mod-auth) - authentication - **integrated into oxygen/auth (user-interface into [oxygen-cms/ui](https://github.com/oxygen-cms/ui))**
- [oxygen/mod-events](https://github.com/oxygen-cms/mod-events) - adds events - **not maintained anymore**
- *oxygen/mod-preferences* - preferences UI - **integrated into Vue.JS user interface**
- *oxygen/mod-dashboard* - admin dashboard - **integrated into new Vue.JS user interface**
- *oxygen/mod-security* - a basic log of all login attempts - **now integrated into the authentication module**
- *oxygen/mod-marketplace* - a package marketplace - **never took off so decided not worth the maintenance effort**

The Stack
---------

[](#the-stack)

Oxygen uses the Laravel PHP framework, which in turn is based off [Symfony](http://symfony.com/). As well as Laravel, Oxygen uses countless other PHP packages from Composer, too many to list them all here.

Oxygen is currently undergoing a modernization process to migrate to a swish new user interface written with Vue.js and built with Webpack. Though the individual packages are all currently open-sourced, alas the main application which ties them all together is not. Coming soon...
