Symfony
High Performance PHP Framework for Web Development

Symfony is an open-source PHP web framework and collection of reusable components for building web applications, APIs, microservices, and CLI tools. It provides built-in features like security, routing, ORM, validation, and testing out of the box. Used by major projects like Drupal, Laravel, and Composer, it emphasizes long-term support, predictable release cycles, and enterprise-grade stability.
Symfony provides modular PHP components and a full-stack framework that developers install and configure to build applications, with extensive documentation and tooling supporting the entire development lifecycle.
