Why another framework?

CodeScape Framework (CSF) is not intended to be an all-in-one, rapid-application-development web framework that many others aspire to. A lot of such frameworks lose some of their ease of use for specific applications by being too general - once you "step outside the box" they become cumbersome. Also, they are often overkill for smaller projects.

In CSF, the emphasis is on the "metaframework" - the mechanisms that bind the framework together. Rather than supply a fully-working ready-to-use-for-everything framework, it allows you to quickly throw together parts you need for your particular project. Instead of having to work "inside" the framework, it's akin to selecting what to include in a toolbox.

This supersedes my previous attempt, Framework SuperObject.

Getting CSF

CSF is still under heavy development, and is not really ready for testing use, much less production use. If you're still interested, you can browse the source here, or clone the git repository from:

git://git.codescape.net/csf.git
