Phalcon

Top Pro

Development in the mature cloud

With the development in the cloud, with billing to the second, faster frameworks will be in fashion soon. See More

Top Con

Debugging requires knowledge of C

You need to be a C programmer to debug Zephir or C code. Or if Phalcon is not maintained anymore and you have a problem and don't have much skills in C, you will be hard-pressed to find a C programmer to fix it. See More

Specs

Written in:PHP

Top Pro

Extremely fast

Since the framework is and extension built in C it's extremely fast and efficient. It's actually one of the fastest PHP frameworks, and according to some benchmarks it's the fastest framework out there. See More

Top Con

Requires setup

It requires server reconfiguration - some web hosts don't give such access See More

Top Pro

Customizable with Zephir

Zephir is a high-level language designed to create PHP extensions easily by PHP programmers with no knowledge in C. Zephir does this by compiling directly to C and then the C program is in turn compiled to be run as a PHP extension. This, coupled with the fact that Zephir's syntax is very similar to PHP makes it a perfect way for PHP developers to use it for customizing Phalcon. See More

Top Pro

Uses Volt template engine

The Volt template engine, which is embedded into Phalcon itself takes it's inspiration from the Jinja template engine and as such it's nice to look at, with a clear and understandable syntax. Volt also compiles very fast, like Phalcon itself, so it avoids being a bottleneck for the framework's overall speed. See More

Top Con

Small community

Top Pro

High quality, well tested code
