Laravel is one of the most adopted and appreciated PHP frameworks— but why has it gained so much popularity?

Laravel is an open‑source PHP framework (Taylor Otwell, 2011) following the MVC pattern. Its conventions, rich tooling and ecosystem accelerate delivery, increase security and reduce maintenance risk.

Core benefits

  • Blade templating: Clean, reusable view logic with expressive directives.
  • MVC architecture: Clear separation of concerns improves testability & long‑term maintainability.
  • Eloquent ORM: Intuitive, fluent ActiveRecord‑style data access; relationships & eager loading out of the box.
  • Security features: CSRF protection, XSS escaping, SQL injection guards, password hashing (bcrypt / argon2), rate limiting & more.
  • Artisan CLI: Rapid scaffolding (controllers, jobs, migrations), automation and repetitive task reduction.
  • Rich libraries & modularity: Native queues, events, broadcasting, caching, authentication + synergy with Symfony components.
  • Migrations & schema builder: Versioned schema evolution without manual SQL— safer iterative development.
