I have good experience on Zend Framework version 1 for a lot of years. now i am working a application using ZF2.
ZF 2 is a new version framework for developing web applications and services
using PHP 5.4. ZF 2 uses 100% object-oriented
code and utilises most of the new features of PHP 5.4, namely namespaces, late static binding,
lambda functions and closures.
ZF 2 evolved from ZF1, a successful PHP framework with over
15 million downloads.
The component structure of ZF2 is unique; each component is designed with few
dependencies on other components. ZF2 follows the SOLID object oriented design principle.
This loosely coupled architecture allows developers to use whichever components they want.
We call this a “use-at-will” design.
ZF2 used
PHPUnit to test application code, ZF 2 components in the standard library form a
powerful and extensible web application framework when combined. Also, it offers a robust, high
performance MVC implementation, a database abstraction that is simple to use, and a forms component
that implements HTML5 form rendering, validation, and filtering so that developers can consolidate all
of these operations using one easy-to-use, object oriented interface. Other components, such as
Zend\Authentication and Zend\Permissions\Acl, provide user authentication and authorization against all
common credential stores.
Still others, with the ZendService namespace, implement client libraries to simply access the most
popular web services available. Whatever your application needs are, you’re likely to find a ZF2 component that can be used to dramatically reduce development time with a thoroughly
tested build.
