Wave Framework

Wave Framework is an open source PHP web application framework that is built loosely following Model-view-controller architecture and Factory method pattern. It is made for web services, websites and info-systems and is built to support a native Application programming interface architecture, caching, user control and smart resource management. Wave is a compact framework that does not include bloated libraries and features and is developed keeping lightweight speed and optimizations in mind.
Wave Framework is released under LGPLv3 license.
Mercurial and Git repositories is available for developers who are interested in participating in the development.
History
Wave Framework development began in 2011, but the first public release was on . Wave Framework is primarily developed by framework creator Kristo Vaher as a way to develop a framework that focuses on Application programming interface as the primary software layer. This allows the framework to be used to not only build web-based User interface, but also user interface for mobiles and other platforms.
Wave Framework was originally called WWW Framework and was renamed on to avoid confusion with the term WWW, which is shorthand for World Wide Web.
Wave Framework is used by some commercial projects, including a Finnish startup RoomForIt and an e-mail marketing software MailBow.
