CodeIgniter was originally developed by EllisLab.The framework was written for performance in the real world,with many of the original class libraries, helpers, andsub-systems borrowed from the code-base of ExpressionEngine.It was, for years, developed and maintained by EllisLab, the ExpressionEngineDevelopment Team and a group of community members called the Reactor Team.

In 2014, CodeIgniter was acquired by the British Columbia Institute of Technology and was then officially announced as a community-maintainedproject.

Bleeding edge development is spearheaded by the handpicked contributorsof the CodeIgniter Council.
