Phalcon is a high-performance PHP web framework based on the model–view–controller (MVC) pattern. Originally released in 2012, it is an open-source framework licensed under the terms of the BSD License.
Unlike most PHP frameworks, Phalcon is implemented as a web server extension written in C, aiming to boost execution speed, reduce resource usage, and handle more HTTP requests per second than comparable frameworks written primarily in PHP. One drawback of this approach is that root/administrative access is required on the server to install Phalcon by building a custom binary or using a precompiled one.
History
Phalcon was created by Andres Gutierrez and collaborators looking for a new approach to traditional web application frameworks written in PHP. The original intention was to use "Spark" as the name, but the combination of words "PHP" and "Falcon" (which is one of fastest animals) ended as the name of the framework. Phalcon's initial release was made available on November 14, 2012.

In computer programming, a software framework is an abstraction in which software providing generic functionality can be selectively changed by additional user-written code, thus providing application-specific software. A software framework is a universal, reusable software environment that provides particular functionality as part of a larger software platform to facilitate development of software applications, products and solutions. Software frameworks may include support programs, compilers, code libraries, tool sets, and application programming interfaces (APIs) that bring together all the different components to enable development of a project or solution.
Frameworks contain key distinguishing features that separate them from normal libraries:
