PSR-4 Autoloading Standard

Understand how PSR-4 maps namespace segments to directory paths.

What is Autoloading?

Autoloading means PHP automatically loads a class file the first time you use that class — no manual require needed.

Before Autoloading

Without autoloading, every file began with dozens of require_once calls — fragile and hard to maintain.
