High-performance web framework Zend Framework

　Zend Framework (ZF) is an open source framework for developing Web programs and services using PHP 5.3 and higher. ZF is implemented with 100% object-oriented coding. ZF's component architecture is unique in that each component has little dependence on other components. Such a loosely coupled structure allows developers to use components independently. We often call this “use-at-will” design.

Version 2.0 was officially released on September 5, 2012, referred to as ZF2. The main slogan of this version is "high performance". The latest version currently is Zend Framework 2.1, which is the first official version in ZF2. In addition to greatly improving the functions of the original components, the latest version also adds two new members:

1. ZendService_Apple_Apns: Provides notification function specifically for iOS system.
2. ZendService_Google_Gcm: Provides notification functionality for Android.

In addition, Enrico Zimuel also developed zftool.phar to provide tool support for the framework. The currently supported functions are:

1. Create Skeleton application
2. You can create modules in skeleton applications
3. Automatically load classmap
4. Install ZF2 into the directory

　At this stage, ZF2 is a very good choice for developing large and medium-sized PHP applications, especially commercial applications and enterprise applications, because ZF2 has strict code specifications and is very suitable for team development. As an official Zend supported product, ZF2’s overall reliability and BUG response speed are guaranteed.

The above has introduced the high-performance web framework Zend Framework, including aspects of it. I hope it will be helpful to friends who are interested in PHP tutorials.
