Crud was built to be scaffolding on steroids, and allow developers to haveenough flexibility to use it for both rapid prototyping and productionapplications, even on the same code base -- saving you time.

• Crud isvery fast to install, a few minutes tops.

• Crud is very flexible and has tons ofconfiguration options.

• Crud aims to stay out of your way, and if it happens to get in your way, you can change the undesiredbehavior very easily.

• Crud relies heavily on CakePHP events and is possible to override, extend, or disable almost allof Crud's functionality either globally or for one specific action.

• Usually, the basic code for controller CRUD actions are very simple and always looks the same. Crudwill add the actions to your controller so you don't have to reimplement them over and over again.

• Crud does not have the same limitations as CakePHP's own scaffolding, which is "my way or thehighway." Crud allows you to hook into all stages of a request, only building the controller codeneeded specifically for your business logic, outsourcing all the heavy boilerplating to Crud.

• Less boilerplate code means less code to maintain, and less code to spend time unit testing.

• Crud allows you to use your own views, baked or hand-crafted, in addition to adding thecode needed to fulfill your application logic, usingevents. It isby default compatible with CakePHP's baked views.

• Crud also provides built in features for JSON and XMLAPIfor any action you have enabled through Crud, which eliminates maintaining both aHTML frontend and a JSON and/or XML interface for your applications -- saving you tons of time andhaving a leaner code base.

If you happen to stumble upon a bug, please feel free to create a pull request with a fix(optionally with a test), and a description of the bug and how it was resolved.

You can also create an issue with a description to raise awareness of the bug.

If you have a good idea for a Crud feature, please join us on IRC/Slack in the #friendsofcake channeland let's discuss it (this is not a support channel). Pull requests are always more than welcome.

You can use any of CakePHP's support forums/channels for any support or questions.
