Laravel Zero is a micro-framework providing an elegant starting point for your console applications.

It is a lightweight version of Laravel that has been stripped down to the essentials, making it ideal for building CLI tools, APIs, and other small to medium-sized applications that don't require the full weight of the standard Laravel framework. It's pre-configured with essential components like a routing system, dependency injection, and a command-line interface (CLI) toolkit. Laravel Zero facilitates a streamlined development process by reducing boilerplate and providing a clear structure for your project.

Laravel Zero can be extended with various components, similar to Laravel packages. These components can provide additional functionality such as database support, queue management, and more.

The default directory structure of a Laravel Zero application is simpler than a full Laravel application, focusing on the essential files and directories for building console applications. Key directories include app/ for application logic and config/ for configuration files.

Laravel Zero was created by Nuno Maduro as a stripped-down version of Laravel tailored for console applications. It aims to provide a simple and fast development experience for CLI tools and other small applications where the full features of Laravel are not required. The framework has evolved over time to include more features and components, but remains focused on its lightweight nature.
