Laravel is a powerful PHP framework designed for building modern, scalable web applications. It follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture, making it easy to separate logic from presentation. Laravel’s clean syntax, built-in authentication, and routing features simplify the development of secure and maintainable web applications. With its powerful ORM system (Eloquent), Laravel makes it easy to interact with databases without writing complex SQL queries.

Laravel also includes tools like Artisan for command-line automation, Laravel Mix for asset management, and Laravel Forge for server deployment. Its extensive ecosystem, including packages like Laravel Passport for API authentication, makes it a go-to choice for developers building everything from small websites to enterprise-level applications. Laravel’s focus on developer productivity and code maintainability has made it one of the most popular PHP frameworks today.
