The Base component provides basic functionality that all other components rely on. This basic functionality contains a certain set of exceptions and a mechanism to load components on demand, reducing memory usage. Other components build around this Base component and provide functionality for a whole range of different subjects.
Subjects include reading archive files (.zip, .tar), caching data, database SQL abstraction layer and schema management, debugging and event logging, image analysis and manipulation, in-process communication, sending fully feature mail message, templating and the safe usage of input data. Besides these main features there are also a few other components dealing with a whole range of subjects.
This is a complete list of all the individual libraries that is included in eZ components.

PersistentObjectThis component allows you to store an arbitrary data structures to a fixed database table. The component provides all the functionality needed to fetch, list, delete etc these datastructures.
PhpGeneratorProvides a simple interface for creating PHP files and executing PHP code.
SystemInformationProvides access to common system variables, such as CPU type and speed, and the available amount of memory. (planned for version 1.1)
TemplateA fully functional Templating system, supporting template compilation in different levels, user defined functions and operators, an optimizer, output escaping for different output handlers to prevent XSS and other security problems and a plug in system for extra functionality (such as a Translation system). (planned for version 1.1)
TranslationA component that reads XML translation definitions (the Qt Linguist format), supports caching of translation contexts and presents you with a class to apply translations to strings. A filter system allows you to transform translation definitions for special use.
UrlProvides functionality for parsing URL parameters, and path manipulation.
UserInputA component that assists you to safely user input variables coming into your application. It builds on top of PHP's filter extension and extends it by providing a more inituitive API.
