=============================

- Parameters in URI
- Closure as Controller
- Class as Controller

- HTTP Caching easiness.
- HTTP Header control.
- PHP 5.3+
- 404 Handler.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 5.3>=
- PHPUnit (If you want to run the tests)

"Hello World" (PHP >= 5.3)
-----------------------------

[](#hello-world-php--53)

If you are familiar with web.py, this will look like home.

```
require "Tachyon/Application.php"

$urls = array("/(.*)" => function() {
						     echo "Hello World!";
	                     });

$app = new \Tachyon\Application($urls);
$app->run();

```
