PAJAJ: PHP Asynchronous Javascript and JSON
<p>A new PHP based Ajax framework put its hat in the ring: PAJAJ.PAJAJ is a object oriented Ajax framework, created by Gilbert Hyatt, written in PHP5 for development of event driven PHP web applications. The framework follows 5 basic principles:
- Simplicity: Everything can be done in PHP.
- Various development models:
- Developer develops the whole application and interface in PHP
- Designer generate a pretty but dump page, and you then hook events to it to make it a real application
- You design an interface as a template (example Smarty), and have the framework make html, CSS, Javascript that you pore into the template
- Event Driven
- Late Binding of Events: no changes need to be made to the HTML themselves
- Object Oriented: There are not only objects for the Ajax plumbing, but for page elements that you are interacting with
Example Code
<?php
require_once('../../CO.inc');
$html = CO::getTag('html');
$html->setTemplateFile('../templates/pajaj_examples.tpl');
$section = CO::getStyledTag('DivDropShadow', null, null);
$section->add(file_get_contents('content.htm'));
//$section->setWidth('100%');
$html->add($section);
$html->add(br());
print $html;
?>

This really looks good, but there’s no documentation at all. Maybe you can get some nice parts out of it though.
I’m starting work on my own PHP JSON writer, and I figured I’d look around to see if there’s something done already.
The code seems a bit unstructured, and cluttered, so I’m fairly certain I can do a cleaner job.
I have a new requirement: MINIMAL BOILERPLATE!
