The Laravel framework is an open-sourced PHP web framework that allows developers to create dynamic and scalable web applications. The source code of Laravel is hosted on GitHub and released under the MIT license.
Laravel helps you create applications with expressive, elegant syntax. The current Laravel version is 9.x. For all Laravel releases, bug fixes are provided for 18 months, and security fixes are provided for two years. Major framework releases are released yearly, while minor and patch releases may be released weekly.
Some of the features of Laravel are a modular packaging system with a dedicated dependency manager, different ways for accessing relational databases, utilities that aid in application deployment and maintenance, and its orientation toward syntactic sugar.
