Find the list of top utility Open Source Apps in CakePHP
Among the top open source web application frameworks, CakePHP offers an extensible architecture for development, maintenance and deployment of PHP applications. This framework undoubtedly has many features with one being that it’s based on the MVC architecture & ORM that’s rather easy to understand and helps developers write less code sans compromising on the flexibility.
Here we present the key features of Open Source Apps written in CakePHP:
• Works from any Website Directory, with limited Apache Configuration
• Integrated CRUD for Database Interaction
• Code Generation & Built-in Validation
• Request Dispatcher with Clean, Custom URLs and Routes
• Fast and Flexible Templating (PHP Syntax with Helpers)
• View Helpers for AJAX, JavaScript, HTML Forms and much more
• Email, Cookie, Security, Session and Request Handling Components
• Flexible ACL and Data Sanitization
• Flexible Caching and Localization
This framework enjoys being the second largest active developer team and community among the PHP frameworks, adding great value to the project. This way the need the reinvent the wheel doesn’t arise.
Github is the #1 resource for Cakephp projects in my opinion, 2nd place probably is occupied by Code Google and then comes Sourceforge.
