While working with my good friend Gavin over recent months, I've heard him condemning certain aspects and limitations of popular php frameworks. This has invariably led us to pioneer a solution to these limitations, in the form of a lite weight, PHP5 framework we're calling Caffeine PHP, with some developer friendly features:
- Lite-weight, under 20kb compressed
- Currently the core benchmarks at 0.0026
- Doesn't hijack $_POST, $_GET, and $_SESSION
- Supports MVC, but doesn't force it
- Supports pretty URL's
Gavin is doing all the hard work, while I'm tackling any designer related tasks like brand development and PR.
Caffeine is a SourceForge supported project and is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It will be available for download sometime this month (May 2008).
