In depth
lean is a small and lightweight library in PHP 5.3 and should be included in every project! It gives you easy and small components for templating, I18N, etc. along with some powerful utility classes such as lean\Dump and lean\Text.
On top of that, it brings /:controller/:action functionality to the Slim micro framework, complete with layout and partials!
What we mean by "lean gives you freedom" is that it does not put a frame around your code that limits your possibilities and forces you to do things in a certain way. We believe in the power of the programmer and in their abilities to come up with good solutions for their problems, equipped with our library.
lean is a good foundation to build upon but enough with the chitchat, here's a feature complete feature list!
