What is GraPHP?
The goal of this project is to build a lightweight web framework with a graph DB abstraction. It should be very easy to create the graph schema with no knowledge of of how the data is stored. Also, the schema should be incredibly flexible so you should never need migrations when adding new models (nodes), connections (edges), or data that lives in nodes.
GraPHP is a tool in the Frameworks (Full Stack) category of a tech stack.
GraPHP is an open source tool with GitHub stars and GitHub forks. Here’s a link to GraPHP's open source repository on GitHub
GraPHP Integrations
GraPHP's Features
- Full MVC. Zero boilerplate controllers, models, and views.
- Models are your schema. Defining data is up to you (but not required).
- No migrations. Team members can add new models independently without conflicts
- No DB queries, unless you want to. Transparent model makes it easy to see what happens under the hood.
- DB API is designed for fast performance. No implicit joins or other magic, but expressive enough for nice readable code.
- No CLI needed (but supported for cron and tests).
- All classes are loaded on demand when used for the first time.
- PHP 5.5+

JavaScript
JavaScript is most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic,and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.
Python
Python is a general purpose programming language created by Guido Van Rossum. Python is most praised for its elegant syntax and readable code, if you are just beginning your programming career python suits you best.
Node.js
Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.
HTML5
HTML5 is a core technology markup language of the Internet used for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web. As of October 2014 this is the final and complete fifth revision of the HTML standard of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The previous version, HTML 4, was standardised in 1997.
