Kohana

Why use Kohana?

• Build applications quickly

  Many common components are included: translation tools, database access, code profiling, encryption, validation, and more.

• Use specific libraries and tools

  Extending existing components and adding new libraries is very easy.

• Write commercial applications

  Uses the BSD license, so you can use and modify it for commercial purposes.

• A very fast framework

  Benchmarking a framework is hard and rarely reflects the real world, but Kohana is very efficient and carefully optimized for real world usage.

• Good debugging and profiling tools

  Simple and effective tools help identify and solve performance issues quickly.

• Know what the framework is doing

  Very well commented code and a simple routing structure makes it easy to understand what is happening.

• Work with objects and classes

  This is an OOP framework that is extremely DRY. Everything is built using strict PHP 5 classes and objects.

• Write your own code

  There are no code generators and endless configuration files, so setting up is fast and easy.

• Community support

  A very active community forum and IRC channel means that most questions are answered very quickly.
