CakePHP

CakePHP is an open-source PHP framework that follows MVC architecture and convention over configuration principles. It enables rapid application development (RAD) with built-in tools for authentication, database access, and security.

Key Features of CakePHP:

• Zero configuration setup (no need for YAML or XML files)

• Built-in CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionality

• Strong security features like input validation and CSRF protection

• Database abstraction and ORM (Object-Relational Mapping)

• Scaffolding for rapid development

Best Use Cases for CakePHP:

• Enterprise web applications with rapid development needs

• Secure and scalable business applications

• Developers looking for a structured PHP framework with minimal configuration

• Startups needing quick MVP development
