This package provides generic router that may be used with PHP frameworks. The goal of this router is to optimize towards fast startup taking advantage of array op-cache optimizations in PHP 7.

This router uses segment based matching which optimizes usage of static segments in the paths to minimize the need to generate large and slow regular expressions. In some uses cases, this may provide faster routing than simply using a few large regular expression. However, the aim of this package is not to compete in efficiency against more popular routers.

NOTE: This package is part of a framework that is still highly experimental in nature. Stable api or proper documentation are not to be expected until the framework has been tested in practice.
