What is Symfony?

Symfony (www.symfony.com) is an Open-Source framework, a library of cohesive classes written in PHP that helps developing professional applications.

It provides an architecture, components and tools for developers to build complex web applications faster. Choosing Symfony allows you to release your applications earlier, host and scale them without problem, and maintain them over time with no surprise. Symfony is based on experience. It does not reinvent the wheel: it uses most of the best practices of web development and integrates some great third-party libraries. Thousands of developers already trust Symfony for their applications! And more than 1,000,000 unique visitors go on the official Symfony website each month. Symfony is used by many companies like Yahoo!, Dailymotion, Ted.com, Electronic Arts, Orange, ArianeEspace, and many more.

Symfony, it’s also a huge Community of several ten of thousands of developers from all over the world who all work together to improve the framework daily!
