Why should you use it ?
It's light, fast and robust.
Also being written in PHP makes it very easily extensible with custom modules, and secure because - running inside the Zend scripting engine - it's immune to a number of common security threats (format strings, buffer overflows, ...).
Thanks to its very modular architecture, Nanoweb can also be used as a framework to develop your own standalone web based applications.
