Bitweaver is an {{tag|object-oriented}} {{tag|web}} application framework and {{tag|content management system}} (CMS) written in {{tag|PHP}} that is distributed as {{tag|open source}} software under the {{tag|GNU Lesser General Public License}} (LGPL).  Originally known as '''[[TikiPro]]''', and derived from the PHP application known as {{tag|TikiWiki}}, Bitweaver has distinguished itself from its predecessor by converting to a highly modular [[:Category:Software|software]] application.  It is focused on scalability, data integrity, and stability; and is intended for {{tag|enterprise}} or large scale, high traffic websites.  Bitweaver powers a number of such high profile wiki-based websites, including [[Viovio]] and [[voip-info]].

*{{tag|PostgreSQL}}
Due to the large number of [[:Category:Database|databases]] it supports, it is considered {{tag|cross-platform}}.  In addition to ADOdb, Bitweaver uses the well-established {{tag|Smarty}} template presentation framework, which allows Bitweaver to efficiently separate logic from presentation, making theming and site design logical and straight forward.  The targeted template overriding inherited from TikiWiki makes theming much easier than traditional fixed [[:Category:HTML|HTML]] designs.  This makes it much easier to upgrade and work with the coding philosophy advocating pristine source.

==Criticisms==
*While being well-suited for customisation, the high-end features, modularity, and object-oriented design makes it less friendly to individuals looking for small PHP script they can utilise for a personal website.

*The use of {{tag|XHTML}} 1.0 Strict, and a table-less design where possible make advanced styling a daunting task for the {{tag|Cascading Style Sheets}} (CSS) novice.
