Introduction to Symfony

Symfony is PHP's other major framework — more modular than Laravel (you can use individual Symfony components without the whole framework), and the foundation several other tools (including parts of Laravel itself) are built on.

#[Route('/users/{id}', methods: ['GET'])]
public function show(int $id, UserRepository $users): Response
{
    $user = $users->find($id);

    return $this->json($user);
}

Note the attribute (#[Route(...)], from earlier in this level) used directly for routing — a defining stylistic difference from Laravel's separate routes/web.php file. Choosing between them mostly comes down to team preference and existing codebase conventions; both are production-proven at scale.
