Framework X
PHP micro framework for building web applications and APIs on an event-driven, non-blocking runtime.
Framework X is a PHP micro framework for building web applications and APIs, and it uses ReactPHP for its event-driven architecture. It is installed with Composer and can run in two ways: behind an existing PHP stack, where the web server starts PHP for each request, or as an always-on process that systemd keeps running, as the deployment guide describes.
The project is maintained by clue·engineering, which the project names as the company behind it.
Worth knowing
The project is on a pre-1.0 release line.
