Recess framework

PHP

Hi guys,

I have found a new framework here http://www.recessframework.org/. I’d like to know you reviews.

Thanks!

basically its a dead project.

I just had a look at it. It looks pretty average, mostly seems like a cake clone though.

It’s using the same odd interpretation of MVC as most of the common frameworks where the “model” is just data access and the controller isn’t a controller but a mediator between the models and the views.

The documentation seems rather sparse and it hasn’t been updated in over a year. You’re probably better using Cake or CodeIgniter, at least you’ll be able to get regular updates and there is a healthy support community around them.

What I mean is it’s extracting data from the model and passing it to the view. In MVC the view gets its own data from the model.

Hi, my name is Kevin Burns.

Along with Kris Jordan, I’m the only other developer with commit access to the Recess github repository.

Recess is not a CakePHP clone.
Recess is much much faster and does not come bundled with a mess of tightly coupled proprietary components.

The best place to find answers to these questions is the Recess Forums

And on the topic about whether Recess is a dead project, see this thread:

Its an old topic, but wanted to bump for same reason.
Is their any reviews or experiences using Recess Framework? (or others)

Im about to download it and give it a test, after google’ing Restfull API Framework.

controller isn’t a controller but a mediator between the models and the views.

Curious, what else might an action controller do?
