HttpFoundation and HttpKernel HttpKernel are Symfony components. All web interactions start with request, and it ends with response. The function of HttpKernel is converting the request to response. The HttpKernel is attached with event listeners. The name of each of the "kernel" event is defined as a constant on the KernelEvents class. Every event have their own objects like kernel.request, kernel.controller, kernel.view, kernel.response,kernel.finish_request,kernel.terminate, kernel.exception ;
