Overview

A lightweight and easy-to-use framework for the WordPress Customizer. Provides a simple and intuitive API for registering Customizer settings, including advanced control types. Automatically sanitizes settings based on the control type. Eliminates the tedious task of registering a setting, control, and sanitization function for each individual Customizer setting.

The framework may be used by both plugins and themes, although since at this time the settings are saved as theme mods, any plugin settings will be specific to the active theme. Support for option type settings is planned.

This plugin is currently in beta, and may be subject to major changes as it matures.
