Web Frameworks

It's actually hard to define what particular functionality a web-framework should provide. At least it should be able to communicate with a web-server OR even provide web-server functionality itself.

The content and a coverage of each framework listed below varies. Some libraries provide functionality that is implemented in other libraries, i.e. HTML creation, database interaction, encryption, handling archive files, while others do not. It's questionable, if such functionality is mandatory for a web-framework.

Freeware?

The library is based on fcl-web in order to handle the communication.

Provides high level MVC routines.
