that prove to be impressive for web development

CakePHP is a framework based on PHP released in
2005 has been gaining more and more popularity
since then. Experts call it a framework that
utilises the capabilities of PHP up to its full
extent. This is highly accurate when you consider
all the features that CakePHP has to offer.
After it started gaining more popularity, it
became a favourite among most of the web
application developers and it is till date. This
is because it has several features that assists
developers to create different web applications
including features like shopping carts, content
management systems and a lot more.
CakePHP has several tools that help keep web
applications secure and safe and also, the
framework itself has a highly secure base that
strengthens every security measure.

Here is a list of all the features that CakePHP
has to offer developers that makes it the go-to
framework for developing secure and satisfying
web applications
1. Pre-built features
The CakePHP framework comes with a lot of
in-built features for all the basic
functionalities. The framework has pre-designed
and validated features that make up most part of
the web application swiftly.
Developers are at ease while crafting a website
on CakePHP as they can quickly build and modify
the features with less coding and thereby invest
more time in improvising the UI/UX of the
website. Above all, the best part is that CakePHP
the in-built features that come along with the
framework, are easily compatible with different
websites and applications.

2. The MVC model
The MVC model which is short for the Model View
Controller model is the most accepted model for
website building. This is because the business
logic and data presentation models are separated
from each other and connected through a
controller.
This makes the development of multifaceted
website applications extremely simple and reduces
the scope of errors. In the MVC model, data
sources are connected through queries and as soon
as the query gets connected to the database, the
data is quickly saved seamlessly.
The CakePHP framework supports the MVC model and
thus it enables developers to streamline all the
website data through controllers.

3. Supports the Rapid Application Development
methodology 
Rapid application development is a methodology
used by software developers that enable them to
develop the software in parts and simultaneously
testing it along the way.
This helps to develop a web application in a
shorter time span and also, it has less glitches
as testing is constantly being carried out along
the way.
As the CakePHP framework supports the MVC model,
it is easy to build a web application with the
Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology.

4. Requires no special configurations
The CakePHP framework is an open source software
and is easily setup without any special
configurations. The developer does not need to
spend time studying the configuration settings
and a majority of the features and settings are
auto detected.
So, the developer just has to download ZIP file
of the framework on his or her PC form this link,
and then install it, add it to the host server
and get to work.

5. No language barrier
Most frameworks have English as its default
language and the for developers who do not have
English as their first language, have trouble
working with it. On the other hand, CakePHP does
not have any default language.
One can use any preferred language of ones
choice to work with the framework smoothly. Thus,
there is no language barrier. Even if a developer
has trouble understanding English, he or she will
not have any trouble understanding the CakePHP
framework.

6. The CRUD functionality
The acronym CRUD stands for Create, Read,
Understand, Delete. This is a functionality that
offers a solution to every database related
issue. One can easily handle complicated and
large databases with it.
The CRUD feature can simplify large database
coding requirements and for that, all one needs
to do is just integrate the CRUD functionality
with the CakePHP framework and database handling
is like cakewalk.

7. Reusable codes
Many a times, developers reuse a code that has
been previously used for a similar functionality.
This saves a lot of time as the developer just
has to edit and modify the code and fix it in the
web application, thereby saving a lot of
development time. 
The CakePHP framework has a feature that lets
developers reuse or recycle previously used code
and apply them to different projects. This way,
all the time and efforts needed for creating new
codes can be now utilised for improvising the
user interface of the web application.

8. No complicated coding required
Most developers steer away from PHP frameworks
because they are known to require a large amount
of complicated coding. The CakePHP framework
thrashes these beliefs by offering a platform
where developers can create impressive websites
quickly without excessive coding.
Also, it allows the web developers to achieve
more in terms of user interface and user
experience with a lesser need of code writing. It
also comes with several built-in plugin helpers
and similar components to speed up the web
development process.

Summing up
The benefits of the CakePHP framework are never
ending and that is why even after 13 years of its
release the graph of demand of CakePHP web
development solutions is still on the rise.
Above all, as CakePHP is an open source
framework, brilliant and igneous developers from
all around the world are constantly contributing
their inputs and improvising on the framework
structure by adding more and more plugins for
various functionalities. This is by far the best
benefit of an open source framework like CakePHP.
