Ariel is a fast, dependency-free HTTP router for PHP 8.4+. It uses a radix tree instead of scanning every route, keeps static lookups independent of route position, and includes middleware lifecycle safety, route groups, constraints, named URLs, persistent-worker support, and compiled indexes.

It is a standalone library: no framework, container, or HTTP implementation is required.

Why Ariel
---------

[](#why-ariel)

- Radix-tree matching with static segments taking precedence over parameters.
- Constant-depth lookup: adding routes does not turn dispatch into a linear scan.
- Specialized fast paths for common constraints such as integers and alphanumeric IDs.
- Safe middleware lifecycles for classic PHP requests and long-running workers.
- Optional file-backed compiled indexes designed to benefit from OPcache.
- Explicit `404`/`405` distinction and configurable exception rendering.
- Route groups, optional parameters, regex fallbacks, named URLs, and class handlers.
- Laravel-like static facade plus an isolated, mockable instance API.
- Zero runtime dependencies and strict PHP 8.4 types.
- PHPUnit coverage, PHPStan level max, reproducible benchmarks, and CI on every change.
