Junction PHP
Download JunctionA PHP 5 Object Persistence Layer
Junction is the glue between your application and its database. Easy to use and extensible, Junction allows developers to focus on building applications instead of worrying about state persistence.
Mapping made easy
Junction maps an object's state to a database, letting application developers concentrate on application level details.
Open source
Junction is open source under the MIT license. This means you're free to modify, use, and re-distribute Junction as you please.
No more CRUD
We wrote Junction because we were tired of writing the same CRUD queries. Junction makes it easy to move state between application and database without queries.
Well Documented
Readable code and functional high-level documentation make Junction easy to understand and modify.
