  54                 <h1>Autoloading CarbonPHP Resources</h1>
  55
  56                 <p>CarbonPHP has a feature that allows you to <b>autoload</b> libraries, utilities, and other files everytime
  57                 it runs.  If you find yourself loading resources a lot throughout your application you should consider
  58                 autoloading them.  The following items can be autoloaded in CarbonPHP.</p>
  59
  60                 <ul>
  61                         <li>Core libraries found in the <b>libaries/</b> directory.</li>
  62                         <li>Utility files found in the <b>utilities/</b> directory.</li>
  63                         <li>Custom configuration files found in the <b>application/config/</b> directory.</li>
  64                         <li>Language files found in the <b>languages/</b> directory.</li>
  65                 </ul>
  66
  67                 <p>To autoload the items edit the <b>application/config/autoload.php</b> file and add the item you want
  68                 to autoload into the array.  <i>Note</i>: you do not include the file extension when adding the item to the
  69                 autoload array.</p>
