Laravel vs CodeIgniter
Both are popular choices in the market; let us discuss some of the major difference:
- CodeIgniter does not support ORM while Laravel enables us as a developer to take advantage of eloquent object-relational mapping ORM. We can use the ORM system to work with varieties of databases more efficiently by Active Record implementation. Eloquent Object Relational Mapping further allows the developer to interact with databases directly through the specific model of individual database tables. A developer can even use the model to achieve common tasks like inserting new records and running database queries.
- CodeIgniter more database compared to Laravel, Database supported by both framework are ollowing
- MySQL, Microsoft Bi, PostgreSQL and MongoDB Additional database supported by Codeigniter are
- following ORACLE, Microsoft SQL Server, oriented, IBM DB2, and JDBC compatible.
- CodeIgniter required the developer to create and maintain modules by using Modular Extension
- additionally, while Laravel is designed with built-in modularity features. Which enables developers to divide a large project into small modules through the bundle. We can further reuse these modules across multiple projects.
