A lightweight PHP micro-core for building web applications with a pragmatic stack: **AltoRouter** for routing, **Twig** for templating, **Symfony components** for developer tooling and console commands, and a simple project structure oriented to small and medium-sized applications.

Why CoreOGraphy?
----------------

[](#why-coreography)

CoreOGraphy is a minimal application core designed for teams that want:

- A small and understandable codebase
- Server-side rendered applications with Twig
- Simple routing without a full-stack framework overhead
- Reusable commands and utility services
- A structure that is easy to adapt for internal tools, dashboards, and research software

Main Components
---------------

[](#main-components)

CoreOGraphy currently integrates:

- **AltoRouter** for route definition
- **Twig** for view rendering
- **Symfony Console** for CLI commands
- **Symfony Debug / Finder / Filesystem** for utilities
- **Phinx** for database migrations
- **SwiftMailer** for email support
- **PHP i18n** utilities for localization
