In 2011 another PHP framework appeared on the market, namely Laravel, and you didn’t have to wait long for its huge growth in popularity among programmers.

There are many sets of libraries available, which guarantees many functionalities. With Laravel, you can count on a faster introduction of the product to the market for companies. Applications can be developed on different levels of application due to the interaction of this framework with MCV. It is even possible to reuse the code, i.e. use existing modules. 

Laravel is considered to be the framework of the future because it gives great possibilities to create applications, quickly adapts to current market changes. It is considered to be the best framework to use without any additional fees. It is easy to understand and learn. With its help, you can use many proven elements from existing frameworks.
