Crystal is a database toolkit for PHP that helps building reusable, database-dependent, framework-agnostic applications. It is extremely efficient – it loads only what you really need, nothing more.
Crystal is build around three core principles:
- Well documented – Every feature is documented and complemented with examples
- Readable – It is human readable & follows the SQL way of saying things to the db
- Portable – It plays well on shared hosting. It doesn’t require PDO to run
