Zend_Model ready for community review

[Jurriën Stutterheim]

Hi everybody,

Last week I wiped the dust off of my Zend_Model proposal and updated it to reflect some ideas that were discussed in #zftalk.dev.

Any comments on it are of course really welcome at this point. You can find the proposal here:

http://framework.zend.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=41564

To copy/paste a description of what Zend_Model is from the proposal:

Zend Framework provides a powerful Model View Controller (MVC) implementation. The View and the Controller are very well featured in this implementation. However, the Model part is still left largely up to the developer. Zend_Model aims to fill that gap by using some interfaces and optional implementations of those interfaces.

Thanks!

How does this make my life easier? What will it do for me?

BTW your link to Zym is broken

Why do anyone needs general model abstraction?
It seems like a "smart" container, but also simple xml element and SPL objects...

After much discussion on IRC (which is still going on) I've updated the Model proposal quite a bit.

It's still not finished, as indicated by the question I ask in the proposal, but its starting to take more shape.

The changes are quite significant. There are no more concrete classes and there are only a few interfaces left. As described in the proposal a manual entry concerning models is a very important aspect of this proposal.

Looking forward to your feedback.
