% The Ultimate Website Framework
|
|
|
|
TUWF is a very small and lightweight web development framework for Perl. It has
|
|
evolved from being a few abstraction layers in two large websites to a separate
|
|
set of modules. While initially designed to be used for large and complex
|
|
websites, it is also perfectly suited for small single-file websites.
|
|
|
|
**Project status:** TUWF has been superseded by [FU](/fu) and is no longer
|
|
being developed. It's still passively maintained for those who prefer a smaller
|
|
pure-Perl framework.
|
|
|
|
## Main features
|
|
|
|
- Very small, and no extra modules required for the base functionality,
|
|
- Easy built-in routing,
|
|
- Handy form validation functions,
|
|
- Easy XML/HTML generation,
|
|
- Response buffering and output compression,
|
|
- Easy access to request data,
|
|
- Support for CGI, FastCGI and a built-in web server,
|
|
- Uses UTF-8 for all text,
|
|
- Convenient SQL execution functions and correct transaction handling,
|
|
- Open source (duh!) and available under a liberal MIT license.
