It can be used independently of TYPO3 as a development framework for various applications, RIAs or websites.
It's making extensive use of software development paradrigms that had not been brought to PHP programming yet.
Here are some key features of "FLOW3":

· The Property module implements the concept of property editors and is used for setting and retrieving object properties.
· The Package Manager allows you to download, install, configure and uninstall packages and share new features with the FLOW3 community.
· The Resource Manager contains functions for providing, caching, securing and retrieving resources.
· The Signal Slot sub package provides an annotation based event system based on the Signal Slot design pattern.
· The Error module handles errors and exceptions and provides utility classes for this purpose.
