PHPy 2 - prototyping web framework

PHPy is built for prototyping web apps, focusing on delivering apps to end-users in as little time as possible. Creating prototypes is different from (re)building apps based on known requirements. Prototyping means not only testing ideas, but delivering changes fast in situation of rapid evolution.

<?php return [
  'h1' => 'Hi',
  'p.text' => 'This is paragraph',
  
  'ul#list' => [
    ['li' => 'First item'],
    ['li' => 'Second item']
  ],
  
  'a:/home' => ['Return home', ':rel' => 'nofollow']
];

<p class="text">This is paragraph</p>
