[Symfony][1] is a **PHP framework** for web and console applications and a set
of reusable **PHP components**. Symfony is used by thousands of web
applications and most of the [popular PHP projects][2].

Installation
------------

* [Install Symfony][4] with Composer (see [requirements details][3]).
* Symfony follows the [semantic versioning][5] strictly, publishes "Long Term
  Support" (LTS) versions and has a [release process][6] that is predictable and
  business-friendly.

Sponsor
-------

Symfony 8.0 is backed by:

- [Sulu][27]
- [PhpStorm][28]

**Sulu** is the CMS for Symfony developers. It provides pre-built content-management
features while giving developers the freedom to build, deploy, and maintain custom
solutions using full-stack Symfony. Sulu is ideal for creating complex websites,
integrating external tools, and building custom-built solutions.

**PhpStorm** is a JetBrains IDE designed specifically for PHP development. Out of the
box, PhpStorm provides you with intelligent, feature-rich code editing tailored to every
aspect of PHP programming – smart coding assistance, reliable refactorings, instant code
navigation, built-in developer tools, PHP framework support, and more.
