Salad Bowl
==========

[](#salad-bowl)

Tasty salad from the best ingredients of the PHP world. 🥗

This PHP framework doesn't take itself too important but uses and emphasizes robust, proven and well known components from the PHP world.

When creating your web application with salad bowl you'll be using:

- [Doctrine ORM](http://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/orm.html) for your models and persistence
- [Twig](https://twig.sensiolabs.org/) as templating engine
- [Aura.Router](https://github.com/auraphp/Aura.Router) for routing

and several more projects that are backend by their strong communities. The salad bowl just tries to collect them in a usable way and set some good defaults.
