About laravel/framework
Laravel is a web application framework for PHP designed with expressive, elegant syntax to make development enjoyable and creative. This repository contains the core framework code itself, separate from the starter application template. The framework simplifies common web development tasks through features like a fast routing engine, a powerful dependency injection container, multiple session and cache storage backends, database-agnostic schema migrations, background job processing, and real-time event broadcasting.
The framework prioritizes accessibility alongside power, offering both simplicity for beginners and robust tooling for large-scale applications. Laravel is supported by extensive documentation, comprehensive video tutorials through Laracasts, and guided learning resources on Laravel Learn where developers can build real applications while learning PHP fundamentals. The framework represents a combination of simplicity, elegance, and innovation aimed at developers building web applications of any size or complexity.
