It's as fast as a program written in Assembly language. Well, to be honest, sometime working in Swift MVC feels like that you are actually doing development in Assembly, but that's another story.
With uncompressed size of core less than 30KB and complete package less than 60KB, it's literally as light as a feather. The reduced size not only means it's ultra fast, but it's super easy to learn too.
For the simple website, just plug-in the MVC files and you are good to go. For database driven website, only set the DB credentials in config.php, and you should be up and running in no time.
Super clean and easy to learn structure. With different folders for System, Themes, MVC, and App files, it not only helps to understand overall layout quicker, but it also makes it less error prune during development.
This framework has been designed to be scalable from the very core. You can either add the additional libraries/modules directly in system, or in the App folder. Most of CodeIgniter libraries can be added with zero or minimal changes.
Its MIT style license not only encourages you to explore and modify the code to make it work best according to your requirements. Also, the zero documentation, makes this a must to do action. Happy Code Reading!
The problem with object-oriented languages is they’ve got all this implicit environment that they carry around with them. You wanted a banana but what you got was a gorilla holding the banana and the entire jungle.So even though this implicit environment in framework is mostly of help, it gives you headache if you want to modify something at the very core. Answer to this problem is this Swift MVC framework, which is pure MVC framework, and nothing else.
For the non-geeks, the only logical reason for using this framework would be some simple php applications. For example, if you are working on some few pages product idea, or on your personal website, this may be good choice than many of the beefier frameworks currently available on web.
Even though there is no documentation, the framework has one sample page working, and also utilizing most of the current framework features. If you need more samples, you can look at my Web Statistics widget (simply copy the mvc folder in your framework root) which is also written in this framework. I will try to post more tips and details in my blog in near future. In the mean time, if you have any questions or need clarification, you can post comments here on this page.
