Valkyrja
========

[](#valkyrja)

[Valkyrja](https://valkyrja.io) is a PHP framework for web and console applications.

About Valkyrja
--------------

[](#about-valkyrja)

> This repository contains the core code of the Valkyrja framework.

Valkyrja (pronounced "Valk-ear-ya") is the Old Norse spelling for Valkyrie, a mythical creature that would guide warriors to Valhalla (the afterlife and a better place) after death. In a similar sense, the Valkyrja framework guides your application to be in a better state. Let this fast, light, and robust framework do the heavy lifting for your app.
