It is the most powerful scripting language providing numerous frameworks,
tools and libraries.
PHP framework offers easy
upgradability, maintainability,
ease of change of database and
more, therefore it has become
difficult to judge which framework
is best for your website.
Below is the comparison between two
most popular frameworks CakePHP
and Laravel:
introduction
CakePHP
▣ It uses structured and bug-free coding for developing websites.
▣ Its components and objects are highly organized.
▣ It is very popular among the experts
1.Pros of CakePHP
❏ CakePHP has a clear set of conventions and a lean MVC architecture to build web
application simpler and faster.
❏ It offers personalized templates and great user management feature for flexibility
and fast coding.
❏ With CakePHP you can build SQL queries easily and obtain results on server site
as it is built on an object relation modal.
“Cons of CakePHP▣ Strict naming conventions can be confusing and restrictive, but loss of
functionality is possible while overwriting.
▣ Documentation is extensive, but somewhat overwhelming at times
resulting in lack of vital information.
▣ One is required to configure default path for URLS because of the
routing problem of CakePHP.
2.Laravel
▣ Laravel is the king of PHP frameworks supporting rapid application
development
.
▣ Laravel web development is trouble free as it comes with a bundle of
features like migration, auto loading facility, object relational mapping and
more.
prosLaravel has an easy to use approach to routing, which can be easily
activated with better control and flexibility.
Laravel is made up of decoupled libraries to easily swap components with
least efforts
It is necessary to be familiar with third party
product while using laravel as it is too
much dependent on other frameworks.
Cons of Laravel
Laravel is new so it has instability with the
coding and you cannot find much pertinent
information regarding the same.
There is a compatibility issue with the
laravel due to its fast development period.
ConclusionCakephp and Laravel are two of the most feature-rich frameworks in the world. Both
frameworks are unique in their own ways, having set of advantages and disadvantages.
In our opinion, choose CakePHP if you want to develop a dynamic website in short time and
use Laravel to build APIs and complex web application development.
