What is CodeIgniter and Why Does it Stand Out?

While planning to develop a business website, the only mishap enterprises face is coming down to a certain development technology that doesn’t fade in the near future. We have already stated in our earlier posts that PHP is one of the best server-side scripting language choices for both static and dynamic websites.

For a robust web solution, a potent framework is required along with a good scripting language. And the top web development companies in USA prefer CodeIgniter as a domineering framework for PHP. So, why exactly the CodeIgniter is a better choice?

While developing a web application, sometimes, a developer has to write a certain code multiple times. Normally, he/she would have to write it manually. Which is not a wise and time-efficient maneuver from any corner. A potent framework allows you to avoid these time sabotages by efficaciously reducing the need of manual code rewriting again and again.

CodeIgniter is such a framework that works exceptionally well with PHP and MySql. It lets you minimize the code and reuse it with minimal efforts, saving your time and reducing the occurrence of errors.

When we pay heed to its features, a new storage of possibilities opens up. Useful libraries and a logical structure to access those along with profuse of plug-ins and simple interface to make your coding work convenient are a plus to opt for it.

Moreover, with CodeIgniter, making modifications is not a daunting task as it offers better code readability, fastening your understanding for both familiar or an alien code. Let’s get a bit deeper in CodeIgniter:

1. Easily Decipherable

Unlike its siblings including CakePHP, Symfony, and Zend framework, CodeIgniter (CI) is not complicated to understand for developers. Hence, they can easily play with coding feature and unleash their creativity without worrying about code distortion.

2. Rich Tools

CI offers a rich library of commonly used tools such as e-mail, zip encoding, calendar and even testing. You don’t have to outsource them as they come inbuilt with CI library. In additional file handler, helpers, arrays, and cookies libraries are there in profuse.

3. Enhanced Security Through Cookie Encryption

CI allows you to apply basic to moderate level of security in your web projects by offering cookie encryption, protecting session data, and shielding SQL queries. Different directives can be enabled to secure your database data retrieval.

4. MVC Architecture

I don’t think that you would want to opt for a framework that doesn’t offer MVC (model view controller) today. Well, almost all the major frameworks come with or can be integrated with MVC, but CI lets you ignoring models to keeps your code clean.

Having an online website in 2017 is out of the question now. It’s a must, a prerequisite to exploring up, bringing your brand, your business to a bigger audience. So why not go with a technology that backs you up for upcoming years and adds to your website’s robustness, security, and dynamics? CodeIgniter is your best choice.
