Web services

Drupal should generate output in any format

"Services in core"

Introducing...

Symfony is PHP framework

to create frameworks

Modular object-oriented components for PHP 5.3

Drupal only uses a small subset of components

Historic commit: 1 June 2012

index.php for many years

define(‘DRUPAL_ROOT’, getcwd());require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . ‘/core/includes/bootstrap.inc’;

drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);

menu_execute_active_handler();

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;define('DRUPAL_ROOT', getcwd());require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/core/includes/bootstrap.inc';

drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_CODE);

$kernel = drupal_container()->get('httpkernel');$response = $kernel->handle($request)->prepare($request)->send();$kernel->terminate($request, $response);

index.php in future

What next?Cleanup and performance

New menu / router Event dispatcher vs hooks install.php and update.php

Complex data structurea

Too much _process()ing

Twig

.twig{% if content %} <div {{ attributes }}> {{ contents }} </div> {% endif %}
