• Zend Framework is an open source framework for
developing web applications and services with
PHP 5. Zend Framework is implemented using
100% object-oriented code. The component
structure of Zend Framework is somewhat
unique; each component is designed with few
dependencies on other components. This loosely
coupled architecture allows developers to use
components individually. We often call this a
"use-at-will" design
