Contains everything to create full-featured Web applications

Symlex is designed to be simple with few concepts to understand - so that you can start implementing instead of wasting time on Stack Overflow. Since its initial release in 2014, it has proven to be well suited for rapidly building microservices, CLI and single-page applications. It comes complete with working examples from testing to forms and database abstraction. Simply delete what you don't need.
