li₃

PHP framework for building web applications, with its components replaceable through plugins.

li₃ is a PHP framework in which, per its README, every component of the stack is replaceable through a plugin architecture. The README also names MongoDB, CouchDB and Redis as storage technologies it integrates. Installation goes through the distribution unionofrad/framework, which contains the framework as the core package unionofrad/lithium, and composer create-project creates a new application from it.

Worth knowing

The manual on li3.me covers the 1.x series.
