Phalcon

Phalcon is a full-stack PHP framework delivered as a C-extension. Phalcon are loaded together with PHP one time on the web server's daemon start process. Classes and functions provided by the extension are ready to use for any application.

The code is compiled and isn't interpreted because it's already compiled to a specific platform and processor.Thanks to its low-level architecture and optimizations Phalcon provides the lowest overhead for MVC-based applications.

A powerful ORM is provided by Phalcon allowing developer to manipulate database records as classes and objects. MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite are supported out of the box. Views represent the user interface of the application.

Views are often HTML files with embedded PHP code that perform tasks related solely to the presentation of the data. Views handle the job of providing data to the web browser or other tool that is used to make requests from the application.
