What is Laravel and why it is used?

Question

Can anyone explain what is Laravel and why it is used?

Answer 1

Laravel is an open-source web application PHP framework, which is robust and easy to understand. It uses a model-view-controller design pattern. Laravel reuses the existing components of different frameworks which helps in developing a web application. This makes web applications thus designed is more structured and pragmatic.

Laravel is used because it offers the following advantages, when you are designing a web application:

• Laravel includes namespaces and interfaces which help to organize and manage resources.
