Project ZNF: Struts-like MVC framework

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, my name is Alessandro Rossini and I want to let you know the launch of a 
new project called ZNF.
The goal of this project is to provide an open source framework for building 
PHP5 enterprise web applications. It's based on the Apache Struts project of 
the Apache Software Foundation, available at http://struts.apache.org/. This 
is not the first attempt to rewrite the Struts implementation, or part of it, 
in PHP, but after spending a lot of time studying existing open source 
frameworks, like Phrame, PHPMVC, Struts4PHP, Seagull and Vida we decided to 
reimplement a brand new framework from scratch for many reasons. First of 
all, all the mentioned frameworks, except Vida, are written in PHP4 and we 
believe that its object engine (Zend Engine 1) is too limited for developing 
enterprise level web application. At the same time the code we analyzed is 
written without a rigorous approach (coding standards, compliance to W3C 
standards, output of notice/warnings, lack of documentation/examples). Last 
but not least frameworks claiming to be a porting of Struts have made no code 
optimization during the porting from J2EE to PHP.
ZNF is free software released under GNU/LGPL license, the official ZNF home 
page is at http://znf.zeronotice.com/. You will find the main package, a PEAR 
compatible package and the developer's guide.
The project has been developed by me and Graziano Liberati, we're searching 
for comments, feedback, bug signaling and best of all new developers. Any 
kind of contribution will be appreciated, if you find the project interesting 
join us!

Best regards.
