We announced last month Limonade PHP microframework. Today here come Tekuna, an MVC Microframework for PHP. Tekuna is small, just 3000 source lines of code, it improves reusability with a component-oriented definition of the application and intuitive routing. Its small footprint will not pollute your codebase with unnecessary stuff.
Below a more detailed features list for Tekuna :
- Component-oriented Definition of the Application
- Intuitive Routing of Actions to Controllers
- Friendly URLs (RESTful API)
- MVC Architecture
- PHP Error handling with Exceptions (and thus catchable)
- Separate Request and Response Objects
- Strict Input Filtering
- Full UTF-8 Support
- Support for multiple Template Engines
- Simple Multilanguage Support
- Fully Unit-tested
- 100% E_STRICT Compliant
- Combinable with many other frameworks (Templating, ORM, Unit-testing…)
- Geared to java programming and naming style
- Open Source under an MIT License
Current Tekuna version os 0.1.189 requires PHP 5.2.1 with mod_rewrite enabled on your Apache webserver. A quick start is available to understand Tekuna principles, architecture and features. The project is at its early stage and not ready for production, but you might check the project’s roadmap to have a better idea about what’s coming next.
