Highly configurable PHP framework: Lithium

Lithium is a lightweight, fast and highly configurable framework for PHP 5.3+. Completely built on PHP 5.3, taking full advantage of 5.3 features such as namespaces, late static bidding, and closures. Lithium's developers come from the core members of the original CakePHP, and its lightweight and flexible structure can easily replace and integrate third-party ORM or template engines.

Another major feature promoted by Lithium is its native support for MongoDB. The data model has unlimited schema by default. At the same time, the unified data model also provides support for databases such as MySQL, which is equivalent to realizing a system that supports both RMDB and MongoDB. Model+ORM.

As a relatively niche framework, the disadvantage of Lithium is its lack of documentation. The official documentation is not comprehensive. Sometimes you need to look at the source code of the framework to get a clearer understanding. Its extensive use of closure syntax will also make beginners confused. Slightly confused.
