RapDev Framework

RapDev (short for Rapid Development) is a component-based PHP MVC framework aimed at rapid development and prototyping of Web applications. It has a very light footprint and is extremely simple to use. With the framework, the developer's job is simply to specify certain application settings and choose which components to load; the heavy loading is automatically taken care of. At the time of this writing, there are a total of 18 built-in components which provide a variety of features that a modern Web app might need.

Features

• Authentication component to handle user login, logout, and checks
