First view on Zend Framework 3 by Matthew O’Phinney
Interesting stuff: One of the very first video impressions of Zend Framework 3, and it sounds fantastic! This is even interesting in case you have read the official ZF3 announcement on the Zend homepage (as the talk adds interesting code examples and details). A quick overview:
- optimized for PHP 7 (backwards-compatible with 5.5+) !!! [see 26:23 in the video]
- PSR-7
- Middleware !
- seems to be compatible to Zend Framework 2.x (unsure about this …)
- focus on components (more or less independent “parts” or “plugins” which are developed independently), I think this is already well-known from the Symfony world
- ZF 2.5+ will also come
- interesting architecture improvements [14:00+]
- lots of stuff is still under discussion and not specified yet
- looks like performance is a serious topic now :)
