The Zend framework (ZF) is an open-source framework for developing WEB programs and services with PHP 5.3 and later. ZF is implemented with 100% object-oriented encoding. ZF's component structure is unique, and each component relies on almost no other component. This loosely coupled structure allows developers to use the components independently. We often call this a "Use-at-will" design.
The 2.0 version, called ZF2, was officially released on September 5, 2012, and its flagship slogan was "High performance." The current version of the Zend Framework 2.1 is the first official version of ZF2. In addition to a significant increase in the functionality of the original components, the latest version adds two new members:
- Zendservice_apple_apns: Provides notification capabilities for iOS systems.
- ZENDSERVICE_GOOGLE_GCM: Provides notification functionality for Android.
In addition, Enrico Zimuel has developed Zftool.phar to provide tool support for the framework, and currently supports the following features:
- Create skeleton Application (Skeleton application)
- Modules can be created in skeleton applications
- Auto Load Classmap
- Install the ZF2 in the directory
At this stage, the development of large and medium-sized PHP applications, especially commercial applications and enterprise applications, ZF2 is a very good choice, because ZF2 has strict code specifications, very suitable for team development. and ZF2 as the official support of Zend products, the overall reliability and the response speed of the bug are also guaranteed.
