## Description

Upload is a PHP library designed to manage the processing and persistence of files submitted through web forms. It provides a framework for handling incoming file data, ensuring that assets are validated against security and quality constraints before being moved from temporary locations to permanent storage.

The library distinguishes itself through a modular architecture that decouples file handling logic from specific implementation details. It utilizes a strategy-based abstraction layer for storage, allowing for interchangeable backends, and employs a middleware-driven pipeline to process validation rules. By treating uploads as continuous data streams, the library minimizes memory usage when managing large files.

The system covers a comprehensive range of file management tasks, including configurable naming and directory placement strategies. It enforces data integrity through checks on file size, type, and extension, providing a structured approach to server-side asset organization.
