\#Micro-swell A simple Php framework for Application container, Dependency Injection and Http requirements.

Basically, the application layer for Php projects.

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/0e8804504d6e031b9f4829e10e20d471818303808021ebb7e4bdd7925356da1f/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f7377656c6c7068702f6d6963726f2d7377656c6c2e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/swellphp/micro-swell)

\##This package is initial stages of development Not much is useful to anyone just yet except for if you wish to see how such a framework can be put together.

\##Purpose The purpose of micro-swell is to satisfy my personal requirements to have a really non-intrusive and a really not opinionated framework that I can use as I please in different projects with varying architecture and structure.

\##Roadmap I am aiming to have an initial release with just the basic requirements and tests [as per milestone](https://github.com/swellphp/micro-swell/milestones/Initial%20Release%20of%20Swell%20Microframework)

I intend to add more features, components and wrappers afterwards depending on my project's requirements and possibly your ideas :)

These will most probably be add-ons and not necessarily a part of the micro-swell framework.
