Claw

November 17th, 2007 Arsen Posted in Patterns - PHP |

Claw allows developing tree-structured web applications with ease, while having the following things in mind:

• Clean Code / Database / Display logic seperation with Hierarchical MVC
• Page / method / variable chains (i.e.: /articles/read/10/comment/35)
• Search engine friendly & clean URLs without creating dozens of rewrite rules
• View / Variable inheritance during application flow
• Rapid and intuitive development process
• User permission handling
• Outside variable handling ($_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST, $_COOKIE, etc.)
• Form handling and processing
• Session handling
• Configuration file handling
• DRY and KISS principles
• Support for web trends (i.e. AJAX)
• Database independance & object persistance
• Human-readable manual and example applications
• Loose-coupled components with possibility of choice and extensions
• Portability, easy setup and configuration (changing app location will not require changing any configs, except for .htaccess RewriteBase, which is optional)
