Tigermouse

Tigermouse is a modern web applications framework for PHP.

It relies on AJAX technology, so in pair with being lightweight enables you to build dynamic, responsive and interactive web applications.

It is well suited for enterprise-grade tasks because of its strong commitment to server-side business logic processing. Tigermouse does not require any Javascript coding, so you can focus on your application core logic instead of tinkering in UI.

Noteworthy features are:

- AJAX requests queuing and expiring
- powerful ActiveRecord implementation
- SWT or GTK#-like user interface implementation
- extensible i18n support
