Lumynus Framework Simple. Fast. Elegant.

Tradicional no que importa. Visionário no que acelera.

About Lumynus

Lumynus is the official PHP framework of the Lumynus ecosystem, hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/Lumynus/LumynusPHP and distributed via Packagist.

Lumynus is a modern PHP framework designed for developers who value clarity, performance, and control.

It embraces what PHP has always done best — simplicity and pragmatism — while looking forward with a clean architecture, minimal abstractions, and zero unnecessary magic.

Lumynus doesn’t try to hide PHP. It respects it.

Philosophy

• Simple by design — no forced patterns, no overengineering
• Fast by default — minimal overhead, predictable execution
• Elegant syntax — readable code that ages well
• Developer-first — you stay in control, always

Built for real-world applications, from small APIs to large, maintainable systems.

Features

• Clean and explicit routing
• Lightweight HTTP layer
• Flexible validation system
• Simple session and request handling
• Custom template engine (Lumynus Views)
• Zero ORM lock-in — database access your way
• Easy integration with modern frontend tools

No bloat. No ceremony. Just tools that work.

Getting Started

Create a new Lumynus project using Composer:

composer create-project lumynus/lumynus my-app

Start coding immediately. The structure is ready. The path is clear.
