## What it is
Yaconf is a PHP extension providing a persistent configuration container that parses INI files once at startup and serves them from immutable, copy-on-write memory for the entire PHP lifecycle. It eliminates per-request config parsing overhead in PHP-FPM deployments.

## Use cases
- load php ini config files once at startup instead of every request
- share configuration memory across php-fpm workers
- fast config lookup without file i/o per request
- manage application configuration in a php extension
- reload config files automatically without restarting php

## When to choose
- you run php-fpm and re-parse ini or php config files on every request
- you need zero-cost config reads with hash lookups from persistent memory
- you want config shared across forked workers via copy-on-write memory

## When to avoid
- you need automatic config reloading on ZTS thread-safe php builds
- you need dynamic or runtime-writable configuration storage
- you cannot install php c extensions

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: configuration-management, caching
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, backend, performance
- platform: php, windows
- tags: php-extension, ini-parser, persistent-config, copy-on-write, php-fpm, zend-extension, linux, macos, web-server
