Phalcon is an open-source, full-stack web framework for PHP, focused on high performance, low overhead and a clean, expressive API.
Important
This repository is the pure PHP implementation of Phalcon (v6). Unlike cphalcon, it is not a C extension: there is nothing to compile and no PECL/PIE installation required — just add it to your project with Composer. Phalcon v6 is currently in alpha; APIs may change before the stable release.
A big thank you to our Backers; you rock!
Phalcon is written in plain PHP with portability in mind, so it runs anywhere a supported PHP runtime is available — GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and Microsoft Windows.
