Its goal is to enable you to +develop projects much faster than you could if you were writing code +from scratch, by providing a rich set of libraries for commonly needed +tasks, as well as a simple interface and logical structure to access +these libraries. CodeIgniter lets you creatively focus on your project +by minimizing the amount of code needed for a given task. + +Who is CodeIgniter For? +======================= + +CodeIgniter is right for you if: + +- You want a framework with a small footprint. +- You need exceptional performance. +- You need broad compatibility with standard hosting accounts that run + a variety of PHP versions and configurations. +- You want a framework that requires nearly zero configuration. +- You want a framework that does not require you to use the command + line. +- You want a framework that does not require you to adhere to + restrictive coding rules. +- You are not interested in large-scale monolithic libraries like PEAR. +- You do not want to be forced to learn a templating language (although + a template parser is optionally available if you desire one). +- You eschew complexity, favoring simple solutions. +- You need clear, thorough documentation. + + +.. toctree:: + :glob: + :titlesonly: + :hidden: + + * + overview/index + general/requirements + installation/index + general/index + libraries/index + helpers/index + database/index + documentation/index + tutorial/index + general/quick_reference + general/credits
