Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Uses static methods
Since Flight uses static methods, it does not require for the application class to be instantiated.
Pro Open source
Flight is open source and is released under the MIT license.
Pro Filters
A unique feature of Flight is something that the author calls filters. Filters are functions which can be executed before and after any other function and can change the parameters and the output of said function.
This feature is used instead of hooks which in other frameworks are used to execute code into different parts of the application's life-cycle.
Pro Open source
Open Qoob is completely free and open source. It's hosted on GitHub.
Pro Has auto loading classes
This framework uses PHP's spl_autoload methods to automatically load classes. This means that if the class is inside the project folder structure, there's no need to call, include or require it.
Pro Simple and lightweight
Qoob is made to create simple REST APIs and not full-blown applications. Therefore it's quite lightweight.
Cons
Con Cannot use ArrayAccess
The fact that it uses static methods means that it's impossible for Flight to make use of ArrayAccess, which in turns means that it cannot inject dependencies easily.
Con Still under active development
This framework is still in beta stage and under active development. This means that a lot of stuff may be subject to change and some features may not be 100% complete yet.
