SillySmart is a lightweight and flexible MVC Framework written in PHP5 based on XML/XSL's parsing.
SillySmart is a free, open-source Web application development framework since 2007.
It was written to address several issues:
- No PHP framework actually allows a natural way to use a View layer built through XML/XSL.
- Allowing
various collaborators on a project with different and complementary
skills to work independently at several levels of the code (PHP at
Controller's level, MySQL at Model's level, XSL at View's level,
client-side JavaScript, etc.) ; without interfering or depending on your
collaborator’s works.
- Implement a true separation of MVC layers across various technologies and specific language to each layer
- Allow
a readable implementation of layer View which takes advantage of a
“phtml templates” like semantic in XML, to obtain with modularity, a
powerful progressive and corrective maintenance dimension.
- Provide
a framework, that thanks to his XML skeleton can easily generate N
distinct types of outputs (RSS, Atom, Web services, Ajax, etc..) without
any problems of casting or parsing.
- Provide a lightweight
framework that doesn't carry hundreds of components but still stays
expandable to meet individual needs through additional plugins.
