Open Source API-centric PHP Micro-framework

News on Google+

Minor new version 3.6.8 has just been released. The update includes a slight tweak to Database class, improving performance in some instances as well as updated jQuery libraries.

I would also like to apologize to one of the idea and feedback contributors, +Ando David Roots, as our website had an incorrect link to his personal blog in our credits. This has now been fixed :)

About

Wave is a PHP micro-framework that is built loosely on model-view-control architecture and factory method design pattern. It is made for web services, websites and info-systems and is built around a native API architecture, caching and smart image and resource management. Wave is a compact framework that does not include optional libraries, has a very small footprint and is developed keeping lightweight speed and optimizations in mind.

Wave comes by default with a view controller and a gateway intended for website functionality with clean URLs that also incorporates a front-end JavaScript controller.
