This small library covers all common code for the webforge framework, to have a small set from classes that are sufficient to start off a litte project. You can use it indepently from every webforge installation - allthough you will lose some features.

whats included
--------------

[](#whats-included)

- DateTime and Time classes for an advanced (and more concise) interface for the PHP::DateTime classes
- A full functional File and Directory implementation that abstracts a lot of PHP file funtions
    - supports nearly every way to write a file path (and convert):
        - windows D:\\www\\something.php
        - unix /some/path
        - wrappers: vfs://some/file/topath
        - windows cygin /cydrive/d/www/someting.php
        - windows shares \\\\psc-laptop\\shared\\www\\something.php
        - unix style windows paths (sublime and others): /D/www/something.php
    - copy dirs and files recursively
    - find files recursively
- Commonly used Exceptions with better semantics and debug output (FileNotFound, NotImplemented, Deprecated)
- Some simple Utils to debug and dump variables
- A bunch of useful String and Array functions
- System: use the CLI with better abstractions for you tests and build better, stable CLI applications
- Convert read and lint JSON
- Common used value Objects (Url, Command, Macro)
