Examples of Hierarchical-Model-View-Controller (HMVC)? [closed]

Answer 1

In the php world, I'm aware of a few methods that might qualify as HMVC. They all allow calling a controller and displaying the results from within a view. The calls can be nested infinitly creating widgets within widgets.

• Zend Framework: Action View Helper
• CodeIgniter: 3rd party Modular Extensions - HMVC
• Kohana: 3rd party Component Edit: Kohana 3 now natively supports HMVC

Answer 2

It's my understanding that the Cairngorm framework for Adobe Flex is just one example of an HMVC implementation. It's open source, so you can find out more information and download the code at Adobe's website.

Answer 3

I wrote an HMVC framework in PHP called Alloy:

It's pretty lightweight and has a modular structure.

Answer 4

I wrote an HMVC framework a while back for J2EE and FreeMarker:

and recently another one for Javascript:

These are fairly 'experimental', but might be of some academic use.

The APF-Webframework - http://adventure-php-framework.org/Page/001-Home - uses HMVC since many years, and has a very experienced and engaged developer. Only the small community discourages a little bit.
