What is the Laravel PHP framework?
Laravel is an open-source PHP web framework used by developers for application projects. PHP is a general-purpose programming language used for scripting and web development. The Laravel framework is based on model-view-controller (MVC) architecture, a software pattern emphasizing the separation between the software’s display and business logic.Footnote1
With web frameworks, developers begin with a structure for application development, as well as a host of tools to add features and complexities. For back-end web developers, Laravel can save time, resources, and hassle.
The Laravel methodology helps developers quickly scaffold applications and create precisely what they want using simple PHP. Developers can access Laravel’s library of pre-programmed functionality for free. Tools include authentication, HTML templating, routing, and more.Footnote2
For web developers and those who want to begin a web developer career, learning Laravel can add to their toolset and simplify web application development projects.
