Symfony

PHP framework for building high-performance web applications, APIs, and microservices. Delivers reusable components, comprehensive documentation, and tooling for development, testing, and deployment with a focus on modularity and long-term maintainability.

Trusted by major PHP projects, including Drupal, Laravel, API Platform, and Composer, which rely on Symfony components as building blocks. Over 36 billion package downloads and a community of 600,000 developers across 120 countries. Symfony differentiates through its component-based design: teams can use the full framework or pick standalone packages, and LTS versions provide extended support for enterprise lifecycles.

Key features:

• Full-stack tooling: security, routing, Twig templates, Doctrine ORM, validation, mail, and testing out of the box
• Symfony Console for CLI apps and developer workflows, from code generation to deployment
• 362 modular packages usable independently or together
• API Platform integration for REST and GraphQL APIs, plus Symfony UX with Turbo and Stimulus for reactive interfaces
• LTS releases with predictable schedules and a transparent security process

Teams adopt Symfony for enterprise web apps, long-running projects, and API-first backends. Developers benefit from components that interoperate with any PHP project, Doctrine for database abstraction, and first-party support for cloud deployment.
