    4. Flexibility for setting routes in web application.
    5. Various features helps in testing through various test case for maintaing the code.
    6. Configuration change is constant for maintaing in an efficient way as different laravel websites might run on different environment and configurations.
    7. Lightweight blade template engine used to design layouts with dynamic content.
    8. Maintaining database schemas to track all changes w.r.t DB migrations.

    Pros of using Codeigniter

    1. Lightweight framework in the category of web frameworks.
    2. Easy to understand documentation with offline user guide.
    3. Large codeigniter community support for immediate support.
    4. Rapid PHP application development using simple routing methods and cached websites for smooth performance.
    5. Validations of forms and data with encryption, security and XSS filter

    Authentication Authentication class helps in implementing authentication and authorization rules Custom codeigniter extensions for authentication, no built-in authentication features.
    Testing Unit testing of code can be done using PHPUnit. No built-in unit testing tools. Developers need to reply on other testing tools for checking application code quality.
    Learning Curve Difficult for beginners to learn as it is stuffed with features. Easy and very much friendly to learn for beginners.
