“Joomla was built to empower developers to have more flexibility and options for their CMS and apps, and the new Framework takes this mission to a whole new level,” said Paul Orwig, president of Open Source Matters, a non-profit created to provide organizational, legal and financial support to the Joomla project. “While Joomla certainly has proven it has the features needed to power the web presence of some of the world-s largest web properties, it-s important that we not turn a blind eye to the amazing features other open source platforms offer. By enabling our features to be combined with other open source software, we are ensuring developers have the most powerful and flexible tools they need to make the digital world a better place.”
Some features of the Joomla Framework include:
A set of lightweight, independent feature-specific packages.
The power of established tools for handling dependency management issues (Composer) and providing easy integration with a variety of other packages (Packagist).
A framework that is easy to adapt and extend.
