Pimple is a small dependency injection container for PHP that manages services and parameters via closures. It is now in maintenance mode, accepting only PHP compatibility and security fixes.
Use cases
- manage services and parameters in a PHP application
- learn how a dependency injection container works
- lazy-load objects only when they are requested
- define factory services that return new instances on each call
- wire dependencies in small PHP projects without a heavy framework
When to choose
- you need a tiny, fast DI container with minimal API
- you maintain a legacy Silex or Pimple-based codebase
- you want a simple educational example of DI container internals
When to avoid
- you need a full-featured DI container with autowiring, annotations, or compiler passes
- you are starting a new project where PSR-11 containers like Symfony DI or PHP-DI fit better
- you expect new features or active development
