Web Application Toolkit. Widgets and more.
Swat is an open-source LGPL web-application toolkit built using PHP. It is primarily developed and maintained by silverorange, but participation and contributions are welcome. Check out what it can do in the [http://swat.silverorange.com/demo/](Swat demo).
Swat is not a full-stack web framework. Swat is an interface toolkit analogous to [Gtk](http://gtk.org/ Gtk), but for web applications instead of native applications. Read about why Swat was created.
Swat releases are published to the silverorange PEAR channel.
