The Atomic Framework is a framework for Garry's Mod that manages the loading and lifecycle of your addons.
Instead of working with traditional addons, Atomic uses the concept of a package.
A package is a logical unit that may depend on other packages.
During development, you can specify which packages your project needs.
Atomic automatically determines the loading order and ensures that all dependencies are fully ready for use before your code runs.
This eliminates the need to write additional checks, timers, or hooks to wait for third-party libraries and other addons to load.
Atomic Framework includes built-in APIs for:
- Configuration
- Networking
- Localization (i18n)
- Webview (DHTML based UI)
- Commands
local package = current()
package:listen(function(self, player)
self.logger:info("%s has been dead :(", player)
end, "PlayerDeath")Also see the other examples

We also recommend installing MySQLOO to work with MySQL.
