For many projects this approach is unnecessarily heavyweight. Eleanor PHP Library follows a different philosophy. The library is designed for developers who want lightweight, practical, transparent, framework-independent PHP code without hidden runtime magic or excessive abstraction layers. No installation rituals. No mandatory router architecture. No framework-controlled application lifecycle. No dependency on complex server configuration. Just download the library, connect it, and write PHP. --- Design principles ----------------- [](#design-principles) ### 1. No installation required [](#1-no-installation-required) The library works out of the box. You can simply copy the files into a project and start using them immediately. Composer installation is optional: ``` composer require sunvas/eleanor-php-library ``` --- ### 2. Shared hosting friendly [](#2-shared-hosting-friendly) The library is intentionally designed to work in traditional hosting environments without requiring: - rewrite engine configuration; - CLI bootstrap scripts; - daemon processes; - containers; - privileged server access. --- ### 3. Lightweight architecture [](#3-lightweight-architecture) The goal of the library is not to replace PHP with another abstraction language. Eleanor PHP Library assists development while keeping the resulting code readable and predictable. No hidden dependency injection containers. No opaque lifecycle management. No deeply nested framework internals. --- ### 4. Built-in core features [](#4-built-in-core-features) The library already includes: - template engine; - cache machines; - MySQL driver; - localization subsystem; - delayed object initialization; - structured error logging; - coherent integration for third-party classes, interfaces, traits, and enums. --- ### 5. Delayed object creation [](#5-delayed-object-creation) Objects may be initialized lazily. For example, a MySQL connection will not be established until it is actually required. --- ### 6. Structured error logging [](#6-structured-error-logging) The logging subsystem automatically organizes log files: - similar errors are grouped together; - old logs are archived automatically. --- Philosophy ---------- [](#philosophy) Eleanor PHP Library does not attempt to dictate how applications must be structured. It is a toolbox rather than a framework. The main objective is simple: - keep PHP lightweight; - keep architecture understandable; - keep the source code readable. No puzzles under the hood. --- Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.5 or higher Code examples are available [here](https://github.com/Sunvas/eleanor-php-library-examples). ### Health Score 46 — FairBetter than 92% of packages Maintenance94 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity7 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity63 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
