I am starting a project and Laravel has been recommended to me. I have always used PHP. What are the advantages of Laravel, what are its best applications, and what might be superior to it.
Thanks! -Jeff

Never heard of the language.
try .Net instead
Umm... correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Laravel a PHP framework? Laravel is to PHP kinda like React, Vue, NextJS, etc is to Javascript. I’m not a Laravel user but I’m pretty sure it has baked in authentication, routing, data fetching and other goodies.
You can get Ai to learn other languages so that you don’t have to.
Open Source PHP Framework — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laravel
Geez, put a little effort in before asking — https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Laravel&ia=web
I apologize. thought you were being a jerk, but then I realized you misunderstood my intent. You thought I was asking people to do my research I was asking for opinions.
Self search is far easier then recommendations from bloggers.
