## What it is
Pux is a high-performance PHP routing library with an optional C extension, offering Sinatra-style PCRE patterns, controller auto-mounting, annotations, and request constraints (method, domain, HTTPS). It also ships RESTful route builder helpers for mounting resource controllers.

## Use cases
- route http requests in a php application
- build a fast php router with low memory footprint
- mount controllers automatically without specifying each action path
- define restful resource routes in php
- add request method and https conditions to routes

## When to choose
- you need very fast routing in PHP with minimal overhead
- you want Sinatra-style patterns and controller auto-mounting
- you prefer a lightweight router over a full framework

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured web framework with templating and ORM
- your project requires modern PHP versions and active development
- you cannot install PHP C extensions and need maximum speed
