CakePHP

CakePHP is an open-source web framework. It follows the model–view–controller (MVC) approach and is written in PHP, modelled after the concepts of Ruby on Rails, and distributed under the MIT License for the online community of developers it is being used by many websites and blogs.

The model–view–controller (MVC) are three individual aspects which together make up an application. In CakePHP models are the key ingredients of any application. They handle validations and domain logics within your application. Views are the presentation layers in your application. They provide you with powerful tools to create JSON, HTML and other outputs your application needs. And lastly controllers, they handle requests and coordinate your models and responses your application creates. It helps in building web application simpler and faster with as minimal code as possible. There are currently three versions available of CakePHP the latest being v3.2.
