DotKernel is a collection of
PSR-7 Middleware applications
Built on top of the Laminas microframework.
Composed of a set of custom and extended Laminas components.

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

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

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