# The Yaf_Dispatcher class

(Yaf >=1.0.0)

## Introduction

Yaf_Dispatcher purpose is to initialize the request environment, route the incoming request, and then dispatch any discovered actions; it aggregates any responses and returns them when the process is complete.

Yaf_Dispatcher also implements the Singleton pattern, meaning only a single instance of it may be available at any given time. This allows it to also act as a registry on which the other objects in the dispatch process may draw.
