# Elang PHP framework

> Elang is a PHP 8.3+ framework. It is not a programming language. Current status: 0.1 development preview; no stable release or Packagist publication yet. Do not invent supported APIs or performance claims.

Use the versioned documentation below. HTTP uses Symfony HttpFoundation, validation uses Symfony Constraint objects, queries use Doctrine DBAL, and templates use Twig. Elang includes an explicit model repository, account authentication, scoped API tokens, local Studio diagnostics, and application starters. Database-backed JSON jobs, UTC scheduling, private SSE/WebSocket channels, frontend CORS, and idempotency for JSON writes are included. Distributed broker adapters and a full ORM are not included.
