PHP-MVC vs Xamarin: What are the differences?
Developers describe PHP-MVC as "Simple and easy to understand MVC skeleton application". This project is - by intention - NOT a full framework, it's a bare-bone structure, written in purely native PHP ! The php-mvc skeleton tries to be the extremely slimmed down opposite of big frameworks like Zend2, Symfony or Laravel. On the other hand, Xamarin is detailed as "Create iOS, Android and Mac apps in C#". Xamarin’s Mono-based products enable .NET developers to use their existing code, libraries and tools (including Visual Studio*), as well as skills in .NET and the C# programming language, to create mobile applications for the industry’s most widely-used mobile devices, including Android-based smartphones and tablets, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
PHP-MVC can be classified as a tool in the "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category, while Xamarin is grouped under "Cross-Platform Mobile Development".
PHP-MVC is an open source tool with 1.25K GitHub stars and 494 GitHub forks. Here's a link to PHP-MVC's open source repository on GitHub.
According to the StackShare community, Xamarin has a broader approval, being mentioned in 75 company stacks & 66 developers stacks; compared to PHP-MVC, which is listed in 11 company stacks and 8 developer stacks.
