Yii

Yii is an open source PHP framework for developing web applications. It provides developers with a structured basis for creating modern and powerful web software, and bundles key features such as database access, form processing, and security mechanisms. As a result, many basic elements do not have to be developed from scratch.

Functionality and Use

Yii is based on the model view controller architectural principle (MVC) where data logic, user interface and control logic are clearly separated. On this basis, developers can use modules and libraries to build applications in a structured way, reuse functions, and extend them flexibly.

Examples

  • Development of a web backend
  • Creation of a REST API
  • Building a content management system (CMS)
  • Development of a database-supported web application
