What is Yii
Yii is a high-performance, component-based PHP framework for developing
large-scale Web applications rapidly. It enables maximum reusability in Web
programming and can significantly accelerate your Web application development
process. The name Yii (pronounced Yee
or [ji:]
) is an acronym for
"Yes It Is!".
Requirements
To run a Yii-powered Web application, you need a Web server that supports PHP 5.3.?.
For developers who want to use Yii, understanding object-oriented programming (OOP) is very helpful, because Yii is a pure OOP framework.
What is Yii Best for?
Yii is a generic Web programming framework that can be used for developing virtually any type of Web application. Because it is light-weight and equipped with sophisticated caching mechanisms, it is especially suited to high-traffic applications, such as portals, forums, content management systems (CMS), e-commerce systems, etc.
How does Yii Compare with Other Frameworks?
Like most PHP frameworks, Yii is an MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework.
