You can read about the benefits of some of the top PHP development frameworks below.
Laravel PHP Development
Laravel is one of the most popular frameworks for custom PHP solutions. Laravel’s top three features are:
- Laravel offers straightforward, effective syntax, something that makes it easy for our developers to write efficient and maintainable code. Naturally, such a clean syntax also helps to reduce coding errors.
- Laravel has a great set of tools and libraries. Examples include authentication, routing, and caching, to name but a few. Again, this helps speed up development and simplifies common tasks.
- Laravel contains powerful security features like protection against SQL injection, Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), and cross-site scripting (XSS). This helps developers create secure applications and reduces the time required for code reviews, testing, etc.
Symphony PHP Development
Symphony is another popular framework our clients ask our developers to use for their web application development.
Symfony is a powerful PHP web application framework that is used to build performant, scalable web applications. It comes with a wide range of reusable components and tools that simplify the development process to ensure you end up with the best possible final web application.
Key features and components of Symfony include:
- The first really great feature is that Symfony is built on a collection of standalone and decoupled components that can be used independently in any PHP project. This modularity allows developers to use only the components they need, saving both time and development costs while minimizing the risk of errors.
- Symfony offers flexibility in the sense of being able to choose only the desired components, libraries, and tools required for different web development requirements. Examples include routing, templating, form handling, etc.
- Symfony follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern. This makes it easier to separate business logic, presentation, user interface concerns, etc.
Yii
Yii is an open-source PHP web application framework used to develop web applications and APIs. Yii stands for “Yes, It Is!” and is known for its speed, extensibility, and developer-friendly features. Like Symphony, it also follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern. It is another developer favorite due to its many advantages.
Yi’s main advantages include:
- Yii is designed to optimize application performance. This is why our developers frequently use it when building high-traffic and resource-intensive web applications.
- This powerful tool includes security features like input validation, output filtering, and protection against common security vulnerabilities like SQL injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). Using Yii means your application is less vulnerable to these kinds of security vulnerabilities.
- Yii offers a wide range of extensions and modules that can be easily and quickly integrated into projects. These allow our developers to integrate functionality such as authentication, caching, etc., in a reliable and expedited manner.
