Laravel helps you create applications using
simple, expressive syntax.
It is based on model–view–controller (MVC)

compared to others.

4). Pre-loaded packages like Laravel Socialite, Laravel cashier,
Passport,Laravel Scout.
5). Built in command line tool “Artisan” for creating a code

4. History of Laravel
Laravel 1 was released in June 9, 2011.
Laravel 1 included built-in support for authentication, localisation,
models, views, sessions, routing and other mechanisms, but
lacked support for controllers that prevented it from being a true
MVC framework.
Laravel 2 was released in September 2011, bringing various
improvements from the author and community.
Major new features included the support for controllers, which
made Laravel 2 a fully MVC-compliant framework.As a downside,
support for third-party packages was removed in Laravel 2.
