.. sidebar:: Autoloading

When Symfony is loading, a special file - ``app/autoload.php`` - is included.
This file is responsible for configuring the autoloader, which will autoload
your application files from the ``src/`` directory and third-party libraries
from the ``vendor/`` directory.
When Symfony is loading, a special file - ``vendor/autoload.php`` - is
included. This file is created by Composer and will autoload all
application files living in the `src/` folder as well as all
third-party libraries mentioned in the ``composer.json`` file.

Because of the autoloader, you never need to worry about using ``include``
or ``require`` statements. Instead, Symfony2 uses the namespace of a class
or ``require`` statements. Instead, Composer uses the namespace of a class
to determine its location and automatically includes the file on your
behalf the instant you need a class.

Typically, the only time you'll need to worry about the ``app/autoload.php``
file is when you're including a new third-party library in the ``vendor/``
directory. For more information on autoloading, see

A bundle can live *anywhere* as long as it can be autoloaded (via the
autoloader configured at ``app/autoload.php``).
