Introduction to Zend\Paginator

Zend\Paginator is a flexible component for paginating collections of data and presenting that data to users.

The primary design goals of Zend\Paginator are as follows:

• Paginate arbitrary data, not just relational databases
• Fetch only the results that need to be displayed
• Do not force users to adhere to only one way of displaying data or rendering pagination controls
• Loosely couple Zend\Paginator to other Zend Framework components so that users who wish to use it independently of Zend\View, Zend\Db, etc. can do so
