Toolkat
Toolkat is an open source, object-oriented web application toolkit/framework implemented in the haXe language; a derivate from the ECMAScript standard. The haXe compiler supports serveral target platforms and Toolkat currently compiles to both PHP5 and NekoVM. Additionally, both MySQL and SQLite are supported as database engines.
Toolkat is designed to implement web development best practices and provide components for rapid deployment of light-weight and scalable web applications. It is free, and licensed under the New BSD License.
The Toolkat project is currently hosted at Google Code. A demo application is also available that implements some basic controllers, user authentication, form validations etc.
Features
Use-at-will design
Toolkat provides a library of loosely coupled classes and components to assist developers in common design scenarios, including: bootstrapping, MVC, session management, authentication, form validations, caching, and logging.
Multi-platform support
The haXe compiler supports serveral target platforms, hence applications built on the Toolkat library can be compiled to run under both PHP5 and NekoVM. Additional compiler targets may be added in the future.
haXe/ECMAScript
haXe is a general-purpose, object-oriented language with Java-like exception handling, type inference and class parameters, generic classes, reflectivity, iterators, and functional programming features.
