Platform

The entry point for all the requests is the www/index.php file. All requests are directed to this file by the web server. The index.php bootstraps the application and will invoke a controller ( in src/DSI/Controller/ ) based on the http route.

The controller is responsible to execute any required actions ( in src/DSI/UseCase/ ) before will load a view ( in www/views/ ).

Command line calls are made to cli.php. Run php cli.php to list all the possible options.
