Freeform Framework is a PHP5-based Web application development framework with a clear, scalable, and extensible MVC architecture. Developed with simplicity in mind, it has class and resource packaging, automatic class discovery and loading, extensible and replaceable templating, security, and session handling systems. It is UTF-8 based to simplify the creation of multilingual applications. It also features an optional persistence layer, an API that does not use schema files, and class generators/enhancers or SQL builders.
