| <h2>Welcome to Code Igniter</h2> | |
| <p>Code Igniter is an Application Development Framework - a toolkit - for people who build web sites using PHP. | |
| Its goal is to enable you to develop projects much faster than you could if you were writing code | |
| from scratch, by providing a rich set of libraries for commonly needed tasks, as well as a simple interface and | |
| logical structure to access these libraries. Code Igniter lets you creatively focus on your project by | |
| minimizing the amount of code needed for a given task.</p> | |
| <p>Please read the Introduction section of the User Guide to learn the broad concepts behind Code Igniter, | |
| then read the <a href="general/index.html">Getting Started</a> page.</p> | |
| <h2>Who is Code Igniter For?</h2> | |
| <p>Code Igniter is right for you if:</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>You want a framework with a small footprint.</li> | |
| <li>You need exceptional performance.</li> | |
| <li>You need broad compatibility with standard hosting accounts that run a variety of PHP versions and configurations.</li> | |
| <li>You want a framework that requires nearly zero configuration.</li> | |
| <li>You want a framework that does not require you to use the command line.</li> | |
| <li>You want a framework that does not require you to adhere to restrictive coding rules.</li> | |
| <li>You are not interested in large-scale monolithic libraries like PEAR.</li> | |
| <li>You do not want to be forced to learn a templating language (although a template parser is optionally available if you desire one).</li> | |
| <li>You eschew complexity, favoring simple solutions.</li> | |
| <li>You need clear, thorough documentation.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
