Why Leaf?

When it comes to building web applications, there are numerous tools and frameworks at your disposal. Nevertheless, we are convinced that Leaf is the optimal selection for developing powerful, web applications and APIs.

While PHP frameworks speed up web development, they come with challenges like a steep learning curve, potential performance overhead, and stricter code maintenance. They can be rigid, limiting flexibility, and often tie you to a specific ecosystem, making it hard to use unsupported packages. Additionally, frameworks may introduce unused code, leading to bloat and reduced performance.

Leaf addresses these challenges with an easy learning curve, making it accessible to both beginners and experienced devs. It is lightweight, and boosts developer productivity by simplifying usage with global functions.

Beyond this, Leaf is modular, allowing developers to install only necessary features while maintaining compatibility with other libraries and frameworks. Additionally, Leaf is scalable, working seamlessly from development to production with minimal configuration.
