doesn't asp.net belong on this list? protohiro

I don't think so. ASP.NET is more of a platform and not a framework: the distinction being that of coverage and, possibly, philosophy. Chiology

[edit] Clean up fo PHP frameworks

The list of PHP frameworks here is too long, and contains a bunch of out of date/unused/unimportant/unmaintained sites. In the new content I've added I've tried to stick to web frameworks that are either reasonably complete and used, or interesting for conceptual reasons. Would it be ok to delete most of the PHP ones listed?

Actually, I'm going to go ahead and delete them, and if anyone feels I've gone too far we can merge back.


  • Lakish - I am going to add them back in. You ommitted Zend's Framework, so that shows that you didn't do any qualitative research into which ones are 'used', etc. I agree that the list is long, but this is an informative page. We shouldn't qualify what frameworks deserve listing, etc. Besides, you can already see that some new ones have already made it to your condensed list.
  • eshear - I agree, in retrospect, but I'd like to do something to separate the frameworks currently under active development from the ones which are older. Both are important for different reasons.
  • I am the (sole) developer of the Canvas Framework, which, as of yet, has seen little outside community efforts. I hope that this changes, and I develop on anyway. Just because a framework does not have an active community (present and future tense) doesn't mean that it should be removed. This is a list of PHP frameworks, and all of these really are PHP frameworks. I like the idea of organizing in active development verses stale. I would hate to be glossed over (or especially removed) because my framework is small. I think I've got something worth everyone's while, and I'll be damned if I can't be on this list because someone doesn't regard my framework due to its lack of developers. (It is used full-time in my department for web application development, so it sees active use, just not publicly.) - Chiology

Other than Chiology's recent comments, this page hasn't seen much change since July. I would like to move the format to a table rather than a bullet list so we can add more info like creation date, version, author, even size of use, or some specifics that might be useful like class based, event driven, etc. Bytebear 22:27, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
