Phimple is an extremely lightweight dependency injection container, heavily inspired by [Pimple](https://github.com/silexphp/Pimple).

\##Installation

Phimple is available as a Composer package. It can be included in your project by running the following command:

```
$ composer require strident/phimple ~2.0

```

\##Usage

Phimple is easy to get going with (just like Pimple really):

```
use Phimple\Container;

$container = new Container();
```

Phimple differs from Pimple internally in some ways, and also in it's API. The API change was the main reason I decided to develop Phimple. There are 2 concepts; **services** and **parameters**.
