About

Laravel is an open-source PHP backend framework that provides all features needed to build modern web applications such as routing, input validation, caching, queues, and file storage.

It includes an expressive templating engine, a database ORM with migrations and seeding, built-in user authentication and authorization, a command-line interface, and a unified API for various cache backends.

Symfony is an open-source PHP web application framework and a set of reusable components designed to speed up the development and maintenance of web applications using best practices and high modularity.

It features over 50 decoupled packages for routing, templating, dependency injection, form validation, security, console tools, and internationalization.
