SuperKernel is a modern PHP framework powered by the Swoole extension.

All components of the framework adhere to the PSR specification and provide flexible component replacement and extensibility through the DI container and Skernel toolkit.

We are committed to exploring the future possibilities of PHP in high performance and system programming.

1. Zero Environment Setup – Run instantly without complex installation.
2. Auto Boot Lifecycle – Framework-managed startup and shutdown.
3. Native AOP Support – Elegant aspect-oriented design.
4. Swoole-Centric – Embrace async, coroutine, and concurrency.
5. Multi-Protocol Support – Unified abstraction for HTTP, WebSocket, TCP, and UDP.
6. PSR-Based Components – Replaceable, extensible, and standalone.
7. Strongly Typed Configurations – Clarity and strict validation.

If your system does not yet have PHP installed, you can go to 👉 wheakerd/skernel - Releases to download the executable Composer binary (no PHP environment required).

Visit the Skernel repository to learn how to download, install, and use this build tool.

Create a brand new SuperKernel project using Composer:

composer create-project super-kernel/super-kernel-skeleton

{
    "description": "Project template for the SuperKernel framework.",
    "type": "project",
    "license": "MIT",
    "extra": {
        "skernel": {
            "name": "skernel" // The name selected during the build, `bin` is used by default.
        }
    }
}

skernel build \
&& chmod +x target/release/bin \
&& target/release/bin start

• If a build artifact name was defined, run it with the actual artifact.

SuperKernel has implemented core operational mechanisms, including:

• Container definition source and resolver factory system
• Lifecycle scheduler and custom process mechanism
• Automatic component registration and service manager
• Class map generation

⚠️ Note: This project is still under development. If using this for production, please ensure you have advanced PHP and Swoole development experience.

• Improved testing system
• Plug-in extension system
• Multi-service coordinated scheduling
• AOP scanner optimization
• Improved official documentation and examples
