Newtron is a PHP framework designed around the principle of complex features with embarrassingly simple code. It's built to solve real developer pain points by making common, complex tasks trivially simple:

• Automatic query optimization
• Progressive enhancement by default
• Embarrassingly simple forms
• Shared hosting friendly

Newtron is currently a work in progress. In it's current state, Newtron can support simple static sites.

• Application container with dependency injection
• Request/Response abstraction
• Two routing modes (declarative or file-based)
• Middleware pipeline
• Quark, a custom templating engine
• Error handling and logging

WIP

Newtron Core provides the foundational components:

• Dependency injection with auto-resolution
• Service provider system for organizing registrations
• Environment detection and configuration

• Clean Request/Response abstractions
• Built on PHP superglobals (no external dependencies)
• Support for JSON, form data, file uploads
• Middleware pipeline

• Declarative: Route::get('/users/{id}', UserController::class)
• File-based: Create routes/users/[id].php and extend FileRoute - that's it
• Route caching and optimization
• Parameter binding

• Lightweight, powerful templating
• Layout inheritance and named slots
• Designed for tight integration with Newtron features
• Support custom filters and directives

Every feature in Newtron follows these principles:

• Complex features should require embarrassingly simple code
• Progressive enhancement should be automatic, not optional
• Performance optimization should happen behind the scenes
• Deployment should work everywhere with minimal configuration

Newtron is in active development. All contributions that align with the core philosophy of making complex things simple are welcome.
