A modern framework for the web
Project description
glim is the lightweight MVC(S) (Model, View, Controller, (Service)) framework on top of werkzeug inspired from play & laravel. The aim is to build a lightweight architecture for web app development. The development philosophy here is to make the core small as possible but still not featureless. It has an extension system that can boot objects with configuration.(See gredis - a redis extension for glim)
The project depends on great open source python projects like SQLAlchemy, werkzeug, jinja2, etc.
Features
A powerful routing system which has grouping & filtering
A model layer with use of SQLAlchemy’s declarative_base()
A controller layer for request handling, service calling, etc.
A service layer to seperate database layer logic from models
An object oriented command line layer with use of argparse
An extension system that developers can integrate to the framework
