Symfony is a set of PHP Components, a Web Application framework, a Philosophy, and a Community — all working together in harmony A framework is a collection of universal, reusable programs that accomplish particular tasks to facilitate the development of software applications. A framework is a pledge of quality, upgradability and maintainability of applications at lower cost. Applications developed using a framework are interoperable with market standards.

Symfony provides a relatively small piece of the puzzle. Its biggest contribution: the gapi services (and other remote APIs) are configured with server-to-server service account access. Sym3 provides an endpoint that returns a svc acct access token that's - in turn - used by Ng2 to authorize the remote services.

We developed our ERP with Symfony, then we use this framework and its components in e-commerce customization.

The RESTful backend for Hilenium was built using the Symfony2 framework.

Solid components backed by a great community and visionary company (sensio labs).
