Aimeos Core
aimeos-core is a PHP e-commerce framework designed for building scalable online stores. It functions as a headless e-commerce engine for managing products, orders, and catalogs, and provides a modular storefront framework and an extensible administration interface.
The system utilizes a modular extension architecture that allows for the injection of custom business logic and the addition of new features through plugins without altering the core source code. It employs a decoupled rendering model that separates the administration interface from the customer-facing storefront.
The framework provides comprehensive tools for visual customization, including template-based theme overriding and skinning mechanisms for both the back office and the storefront. It also includes script-driven automation to handle repetitive development and deployment tasks.
