Cherrycake engine
What is Cherrycake?
Cherrycake is a low-level programming framework for developing modular, efficient and secure PHP web applications. Instead of a comprehensive, all-in-one web app building environment, Cherrycake aims only to provide a strong foundational layer and methodology that feels comfortable, rational and easy to use while prioritizing modularity, performance and security.

Archived project notice
Cherrycake is an archived project and will not receive any further updates. Because of this, Cherrycake is not recommended for production use and is now presented only for educational purposes, aimed at curious developers or students in the mood for creating a new framework or learning about techniques to do so. If you're one of those, Cherrycake can bring you inspiration, and maybe even provide a foundational layer you can build upon.
