What is Yii

Yii is a high-performance, component-based PHP framework for developing large-scale Web applications rapidly. It enables maximum reusability in Web programming and can significantly accelerate your Web application development process. The name Yii (pronounced Yee or [ji:]) is an acronym for Yes It Is!.

Requirements

To run a Yii-powered Web application, you need a Web server that supports PHP 5.3.?.

For developers who want to use Yii, understanding object-oriented programming (OOP) is very helpful, because Yii is a pure OOP framework.

What is Yii Best for?

Yii is a generic Web programming framework that can be used for developing virtually any type of Web application. Because it is light-weight and equipped with sophisticated caching mechanisms, it is especially suited to high-traffic applications, such as portals, forums, content management systems (CMS), e-commerce systems, etc.

How does Yii Compare with Other Frameworks?

  • Like most PHP frameworks, Yii is an MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework.
  • It is a fullstack framework providing many solutions and components such as logging, session management, caching etc.
  • It has a good balance of simplicity and features.
  • Syntax and overall development usability are taken seriously.
  • Performance is one of the key goals.
  • We are constantly watching other web frameworks out there and getting the best ideas in. Initial Yii release was heavily influenced by Ruby on Rails. Still, we aren't blindly copying anything.
