Kohana is an elegant, open source, and object oriented HMVC framework built using PHP5, by a team of volunteers. It aims to be swift, secure, and small.

Released under a BSD license, Kohana can be used legally for any open source, commercial, or personal project.

Kohana's documentation can be found at http://kohanaframework.org/documentation which also contains an API browser.

The userguide module included in all Kohana releases also allows you to view the documentation locally. Once the userguide module is enabled in the bootstrap, it is accessible from your site via /index.php/guide (or just /guide if you are rewriting your URLs).
