LARAVEL FRAMEWORK is the world’s most popular PHP framework. The benefits of Laravel are tremendous. Laravel framework uses the MVC (Model View Controller) framework in web development. Laravel is a new generation of web frameworks that makes it easier for you to develop your application. Laravel provides lots of powerful tools, such as a powerful and expressive ORM (Object Relational Mapping is a tool that helps you make query and manipulate data from a database using an object paradigm).
Template engine (Blade), a data validation system, a cool router, component to cache everything you want.
Features of Laravel Framework :

As discussed above, the Laravel framework uses MVC architecture which organise different parts of code into models, views, and controllers.
• routes.php handles all the routes.
• We redirect requests to the appropriate controller from routes.php
• Then controller talks to the database either through model (Object Relational Mapping) or query builder.
• The controller will return the required data object to view and is responsible for implementing all the business logic.
• The view will return the final response to the user by fetching an appropriate template and replaces all placeholders with data received from the controller.
