Phalcon Framework: A full-stack PHP framework¶

A full-stack, high-performance framework written in pure PHP

Mission ¶

Our mission is to empower developers with an advanced, feature-rich tool: Phalcon. This framework is designed to facilitate the development of powerful applications with minimal server resource consumption and optimal performance.

What is Phalcon ¶

Phalcon is an open-source full-stack framework for PHP. Originally delivered as a C-extension, from v6 onwards Phalcon is implemented in pure PHP, distributed as a Composer package. This means there is nothing to compile and nothing to install on your web server: you simply add it to your project like any other PHP library.

Its design focuses on low overhead and high performance, providing functionality on demand while remaining loosely coupled, so you only load the components your application needs.

Usage ¶

Phalcon is designed to be developer-friendly. The framework's interface is exposed as PHP classes under the Phalcon namespace, making it accessible and easy to use.

Phalcon is loosely coupled, allowing developers to use only the objects that they need as glue components based on the needs of their applications.

You can check our GitHub project for the code and browse through these documents for usage and functionality.

Since this is a community-driven project, you can share your thoughts and requests for functionality you need by issuing a New Feature Request and if you wish vote in GitHub for existing NFRs.
