An introduction to Arrow

About

Arrow is a simple and light weight framework built on the components of a highly respected collection of moderated components held to a high standard.

The name and it’s purpose comes from the php arrow "->"; It does it's one thing you need it to do where you need to do it.

Come on, be a little more specific

Arrow is a simple and light-weight framework developed with components from The PHP League at it’s heart - the Event, Router and Container. It comes with Middleware support, allowing you to "hook into" the framework where required.

A bonus of Arrow is that you control what functionality is provided by the framework beyond the core functionality by simply using Composer to include more Arrow-enabled packages, which are automatically loaded by the framework.

But why another framework

When you have tried many other frameworks, including contributing to other bespoke frameworks, one identifies that things can always be done better. This framework is an evolutionary step up, trying to make it easier to develop projects of any size with ease and maintainability on best practices.
