Fusebox is a great web application framework, our company has been using this framework since version 3. Currently fb5 has the ability to use Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern or Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) which is fantastic for new developers. XML is used for configuration of the application settings and circuits/fuseactions.
Circuits correspond to directories used in your application. Fuseactions are child elements of a circuit which executes some code.
