The Joomla! Framework™ is a new PHP framework (a collection of
software libraries/packages) for writing web and command line
applications in PHP, without the features and corresponding overhead
found in the Joomla! Content Management System (CMS). It provides a
structurally sound foundation, which is easy to adapt and easy to
extend.
The Joomla! Framework is free and open source software, distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later; and is comprised of code originally developed for the Joomla! CMS™.
The Joomla! Framework should not be confused with the hugely popular Joomla! CMS. It is important to remember that you do not need to install the Joomla! Framework to use the CMS, nor do you need to install the Joomla! CMS to use the Framework.
For the official docs, check out the README file found in each package. You can also review the Joomla! Framework page on GitHub.
