The importance of a well-documented framework
At the time to choose for a framework, evaluating the documentation is a crucial step in that decision.
I remember the time I chose CodeIgniter as framework I researched many of the features compared with other frameworks like Kohana and CakePHP, before taking the final opinion.
Later, I found that the documentation as well as online community were one of the most important decisions when choosing for a framework.
CodeIgniter is known for its excellent user guide, and that is one of the Pros when comparing CI with other frameworks.
The first impression when you look at CodeIgniter’s documentation is its simplicity, concise and well-documented User Guide. Then, you also find other useful resources like Community contributions, the wiki and forum.
There are some other external articles that also mentioned CI’s documentation, tagging it as "excellent” (Notes on choosing a PHP framework round 1, round 2, CakePHP vs Zend Framework vs CodeIgniter, PHP Application Framework Battle CI & Symfony, CodeIgniter vs CakePHP).
