Lightweight. Laravel-Inspired. 100% Custom.

Larite is a lightweight PHP MVC framework inspired by Laravel, but built entirely from scratch. It's designed for developers who love Laravel's syntax and structure but want full control, performance, and simplicity.

Larite is not a Laravel clone. It's a fresh micro-framework for small to medium web apps, dashboards, admin panels, and educational projects — without Composer bloat or hidden magic.

🚀 Why Larite?

• Laravel-style routing, middleware, validation
• Custom DI container and lifecycle
• CSRF protection, input sanitization
• Auth scaffolding, flash messages, old inputs
• CLI commands for models, controllers, migrations
• Simple, extendable, and easy to learn
