Dependency Injection Container for Contao Open Source CMS
This DI Container based on Pimple.
NOTE on Contao 4: This is obsolete in Contao 4 - you should use the symfony container in Contao 4.
This extension keeps compatibility for easing migration to Contao 4 - however, you should change your code to register your services using both registration ways.
For a howto of how to migrate to Contao 4, please refer to the UPGRADING-TO-CONTAO4.md
