Yii is a free , object-oriented , component-based web framework written in PHP . Yii is pronounced “Ji” or [ji:] and is an acronym for “Yes It Is!” (In German “Ja, ist es!”). In Chinese, Yii means something like simple and evolutionary .
history
Yii started as an attempt to address many of the disadvantages of the PRADO framework. Yii was conceived as a conceptual redesign and aimed at high performance and traffic-heavy areas of application, things that were criticized about the PRADO framework. In October 2006, after around 10 months of development, the first alpha version of Yii was released.
The stable version 1.0 followed in December 2008. Version 1.1 was published in January 2010 and brought among other things a form builder, relational active record queries and a unit test framework. The version branch continues to receive security updates to this day and now implements support for PHP 7.
In May 2011 the developers decided to use a new PHP version and to correct architectural errors. Due to fundamental changes, the changes were published as version 2.0 in October 2014, after the source code had already been published in May 2013.
If the source code was initially managed via Google Code , the developers moved the project to GitHub in 2013 . The Yii framework is licensed under the BSD license . The framework can thus be used free of charge for both open source and commercial, proprietary web applications.
