+Svelto Entity Component System for Unity
+=====================================
+
+**Note: The alpha stage of Svelto 2.0 is almost completed, so if you are here to experiment with it, please use the current alpha branch**
+
+Real Entity-Component-System for c# and Unity (it can be adapted for other c# platforms too). Enables to write encapsulated, uncoupled, highly efficient, data oriented, cache friendly, multi-threaded, code without pain.
+
+you can find a working example to learn how to use the framework here:
+
+https://github.com/sebas77/Svelto-ECS-Example
+
+I advise to clone the example repositories separately from the framework one, both under the same Unity project Assets folder.
