now we have enough understanding and understanding of the applications you are going to develop and your development team, then let's test some of the more popular frameworks and the features they can provide to us.
OpenbizCubiPHP development framework

this is obviously a representative of a highly coupled framework. It's a bit of a feeling for developers to "pack in" Fasthotel. OpenbizCubi is an application platform based development framework. Although OpenbizCubi is still a dark horse compared with many more familiar frameworks, it is still a very recommendable framework. It is built on ZendFramework, but it has its own unique metadata based MVC and ORM logic, and Smarty and PHP templates are used as the main UI template engine, so if you are a player in the Zend framework, don't worry, OpenbizCubi's code will also make you easy to get.
unlike other traditional PHP frameworks, it has a metadata engine similar to JAVA, which can "describe" most objects in the way of XML, even through the XML description of the data's CRUD (add and delete read and modify) these operations. If your business needs only to implement some simple data CRUD operations, you don't even need to write any PHP code, so XML can do it all. Your PHP Kung Fu can be used to implement some special business logic through his Plugin-Service mode.
OpenbizCubi now has a super good code generation tool called OpenbizAppbuilder. For developers of XML metadata that is still unfamiliar with Openbiz, Appbuilder is absolutely a quick tool to help you quickly. He helps you create data objects and tables automatically by creating graphical interfaces to help you. Single object, embedded service, and even the prototype of the entire application. According to Openbiz's official introduction, you only need to think about the business logic of your application, and the rest of the code work is given to OpenbizAppbuilder to help you.
