CoreOGraphy

A lightweight PHP micro-core for building web applications with a pragmatic stack: AltoRouter for routing, Twig for templating, Symfony components for developer tooling and console commands, and a simple project structure oriented to small and medium-sized applications.

Why CoreOGraphy?

CoreOGraphy is a minimal application core designed for teams that want:

• A small and understandable codebase
• Server-side rendered applications with Twig
• Simple routing without a full-stack framework overhead
• Reusable commands and utility services
• A structure that is easy to adapt for internal tools, dashboards, and research software

Main Components

CoreOGraphy currently integrates:

• AltoRouter for route definition
• Twig for view rendering
• Symfony Console for CLI commands
• Symfony Debug / Finder / Filesystem for utilities
• Phinx for database migrations
• SwiftMailer for email support
• PHP i18n utilities for localization
