PHP 8+ · MVC · v1.0

Built for the PHP you use today — not the PHP you remember.

A robust, light-weight MVC framework built for developers who want speed and simplicity without sacrificing capability — routing, ORM, caching, realtime jobs and websockets, all in one cohesive stack.

<?php
 
use Hazaar\Util\Money;
 
$price = new Money(149.99, 'USD');
$aud   = $price->convertTo('AUD');
 
// realtime exchange rate lookup, no config needed
echo $price->format(); // $149.99
echo $aud->format();   // A$228.14

Everything the stack needs. Nothing it doesn't.
