Starbug is an Open Source web development
framework for PHP.

StarbugPHP is a modular and extensible framework with a comparatively small codebase. We feel that the majority of frameworks are too verbose and inefficient. Our goal is to produce a framework that is powerful but small. Something that is simple to use and just as easy to extend.
