Xhwlay is a library, not a framework.

Xhwlay provides event-driven oriented statefull page flow control library. Xhwlay does NOT provides following features :

• Input vaildation
• Session/Cookie Management
• Database Layer(like ORM)
• Logging
• Other helpful utilities

Why not ? - Because of Xhwlay's Concept described below. Xhwlay's concepts are following three:

• Simple
• Primitive
• Small

I believe that these concepts lead ease to learn, ease to hack, ease to use, and more and more flexibility for developers. Xhwlay minds only page flow control. Other features cited above are have to be implemented by Developer's (equal your) own hands.
But, You'll requre less time to learn Xhwlay itself, than any other "PHP Framework" like symfony, cake to learn. Instead, you can use more and more time to consider your own business logics and implementing many codes as you like.

I hope you'll sense "FREEDOM" by using Xhwlay in your programming.
