QuillstackA PHP framework that stays out of the way

As simple to use as Laravel, as strict about its code as Symfony. Standards first — the only third-party code in the whole stack is the PSR interfaces themselves.

Nothing you did not ask for

Thirty-four packages, each usable on its own and none of them requiring the rest. Take the router without the ORM, or the HTTP client without any of it.

Standards, not conventions

PSR-3, 7, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 20, and PSR-1, 4 and 12 throughout. A response is a PSR-7 response, so anything that speaks PSR-7 speaks to it — including the parts you write yourself.

Impossible rather than discouraged

The ORM batches relations by result set, so an N+1 query is not a mistake to avoid but a thing that cannot be written. A field reaches the wire because somebody said it may.

Told, not guessed

A route says it needs authentication and one middleware enforces it. A guarded route with nobody to enforce it refuses to boot rather than quietly letting everyone through.
