Minimal. Extendable. Just what you need.
A lightweight PHP microframework designed to stay out of your way.
As simple as possible, as flexible as necessary.
NixPHP is a microframework for developers who want full control over their stack.
With only the essentials included, and everything else available via plugins.
It comes with:
- PSR-based architecture (PSR-3, PSR-4, PSR-7, PSR-11, PSR-18)
- Minimalist routing and dispatching
- Plugin system for optional components (views, forms, sessions, DB, etc.)
- Native PHP approach, no complex abstraction layers
📦 Use what you need. Leave out what you don’t.
