A powerful PHP framework

Laravel, a web framework, is our go-to software for web applications in which we realize more complex and extensive projects. Laravel is the best PHP solution for development challenges: a backend framework that enables the connection of different services and applications. You can see this web framework as a digital framework, the basis from which we build, the underlying structure of a website or web application.

Previously, before web frameworks existed, the software developer had to write all the code himself to build an application. Now the developer can use a framework for certain frequently used functionalities for websites or web applications. A framework ensures that programming in a specific programming language is easier, clearer and faster. A framework gives developers the opportunity to easily set up components that are often found in an application.

The power of Laravel

The purpose of the web framework Laravel is to automate activities that often occur in software development for the web. Consider interactive solutions for a website, including a management system and API to communicate with different systems. The code used to build the web framework is known as beautiful, simple and easy to read code. This makes Laravel applications stable, reliable and much easier to maintain and expand. Because Laravel has become very extensive, a smaller version has been released called Lumen. This is a compact, faster and slimmer version of Laravel that is mainly aimed at building smaller websites.

Laravel is easy to combine with other software and tools. Think of caching (such as Memcached) or mailing services. Moreover, Laravel attaches great importance to security. By default, Laravel offers good protection against SQL injection, cross site request and cross site scripting. Finally, Laravel is very popular and has an active community. As a result, there are regular (security) updates and the documentation is in order. Because a large group of people use the code, the code is often better maintained and there is more innovation. This makes Laravel a well-developed web framework.

Laravel is open source

Open source means that the source code of the software is published and freely available to everyone. The advantage of this is that the code is often better maintained. And because of its accessible open source nature, pre-developed packages are quickly available, which prevents you from having to reinvent the wheel.

Why Laravel wins

Laravel stands for simplicity. Laravel is structured and easy to read code and therefore pleasant to work with. In addition, maintaining Laravel applications is relatively easy. For example, upgrading to a new version can be done within a few minutes without requiring major changes to the code. Whether you want to develop a large platform, a customer portal or the back-end of a mobile application, Laravel has it all.

Finally, functionalities that would usually take you hours to develop can be set up in just a few minutes with Laravel thanks to the many built-in functions. This means that we don't have to spend much time and effort on 'standard' matters. Consider logging in reliably, communicating with the database and developing templates. This saves a lot of time in the development process and in maintaining the software.
