Wave Framework号称是：Open Source API-centric PHP Micro-framework。

虽然是Micro-framework，但特性非常丰富：

经过我一段时间的试用，我认为其主要亮点是：

1，简单易用。反观某些Framework，需要买本书认真学习几周才能掌握。

2，支持多种数据返回格式，包括xml、json、atom等等。

3，可以根据注释自动生成API文档，避免文档和代码不同步的现象。

4，文档丰富，边看边写，一个下午就可以上手。

5，内置很多支持工具，比如数据库管理、日志查看器、自动化测试、API 客户端等等。

6，简单够用的数据库封装，恰到好处。

推荐大家有机会实践一下。
