CakePHP has a much bigger user base than you can imagine. Though there have been many new entrances in the PHP market like Laravel, Yii 2, PhalconPHP, Symphony and others, CakePHP has not lost its value. Keeping up with time and latest trends, CakePHP framework is an open-source, robust technology capable of building feature-rich and customized websites for all types and sizes of businesses. It has been serving various top brands like BMW, Hyundai, Express, BillaBong, Blendtec as their websites are built using CakePHP framework.
These days, CakePHP is also chosen for eCommerce web development as it is loaded with a lot of libraries for web programming.
A quick walkthrough the core features and benefits of CakePHP will help you better understand its importance:
Absolute compliance with MVC architecture: As we know, Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture helps in saving data and allows developers to view, update, delete the model class. It also helps in connecting a number of queries into single database, making it easy on the backend. Further, the logic stays independent of the presentation, which is an advantage for large-scale applications.
Encourage Code Reusability: Different web projects can use the same code snippet. Developers can save time in writing repetitive code but fetch from different sources and integrate with the ongoing project. This results in quick building and development.
No Configuration needed: No complicated XML or YAML files. You just need to set up your database and move ahead with your web app/ website development.
An array of built-in features: Database access, translations, validation, caching are the features already available in the MVC framework.
High-level Security: It comes with various security and protection features like input validation, SQL injection prevention, XSS prevention, Form tampering protection, CSRF protection, keeping the application safe and secure.
Flexible and Free licensing: CakePHP is licensed under MIT license, which makes it easy and quick to build commercial, business applications.
The built-in CRUD: One of the most sought-after features of CakePHP for easy data management is its ability to create, read, update and delete multiple data entries from within a DBMS. With built-in CRUD, you can go on with developing cost-effective websites and web applications as many of the database issues are resolved just by performing CRUD operations and handy DB interactions.
