Dotkernel Light is the smallest complete

Mezzio application

A PSR-15 pipeline, routing and templating, with nothing to strip out.
A real starting point for a simple site.

Mezzio

Dotkernel is built around the PSR-11 dependency container. We have chosen Laminas Service Manager as our default implementation.

By default, no middleware in Laminas is templated. For Dotkernel's Light application, we have chosen Twig as the default templating engine.

Among the various routing implementations compatible with Expressive, we have chosen FastRoute as Dotkernel's default routing library.

FastRoute

Laminas, and consequently Dotkernel, is built around the PSR-7 standard.
It uses Laminas Diactoros as the PSR-7 implementation.
