Mezzio- lightweight PHP microframework

Mezzio is a lightweight PHP microframework for building PSR-15 middleware applications. It provides a minimalist foundation for creating web applications and APIs around PSR-7 HTTP messages.

The framework lets developers choose their preferred router, dependency injection container, template renderer, and other components instead of imposing a fixed application stack.

This is free and open source software.
