Laravel vs Codeigniter - A quick comparison for you to decide

Laravel vs Codeigniter is still a hot topic that many people are still not sure about what is the best choice!

More people are looking for it, more people are loving it, there are more people that have experience with it, it is new, it is powerful, more job positions are asking for it and so on.

On the other hand, there are plenty people that are still using Codeigniter and they are still people that are suggesting CI over Laravel.

The main question is what's the best framework for YOU to choose?

I used CI for 4years and still have big CI projects in production, now am in Laravel and there is no coming back, the truth is Laravel is little bit complicated to learn for beginners but it makes web app development much easier once you understand it.

Laravel is powerful but unnecessarily complex. When i comes to Web Development, the same things can be done in several ways, but the simplest are always better. In terms of architecture and logical distribution of the Web Development Workflow, CodeIgniter is absolutely the best. Version 3 was basically an Instant RAD. V4 has come to more closer fields of modern MVCs, but still easy to learn, easy to develop and easy to READ. Let's make it great again. Let's just use it.

LET'S MAKE CODEIGNITER GREAT AGAIN.

CodeIgniter is Rambo. Very reliable, not very demanding and fast. I am using it on big projects already for years and it is simply not true that it is only nice if you are a beginner or a small team. Most important is that it won't let you down. And CodeIgniter never did. In the end it is just PHP. Laravel is maybe better, but related to what? I think that the learning curve of Laravel is much higher than CodeIgniter, which you can learn in couple of hours. And why is Laravel calling "models" suddenly "presentations"? Well, I think I will learn Laravel or Lumen too, but CodeIgniter is not just for beginners.

i think codeigniter simple lightweight and best performance. i learned full Laravel . in Laravel you have to learn many things and performance slow, its just like WordPress example . if you call index page many things run with it ar result performance slow. not well manage Laravel .

You're right on the money dude, Using CI and Laravel really depends upon the need and the situation you're in.

[ahmad.hendri]

Laravel or Ci can't be compared without knowing which programmer is using it, but if both are in the program by the same person, you will know that CI is still the best.

Codeigniter is easy to start and easy to learn. If your web/app are going to grow and becoming more complex day by day, Laravel is better choice. I used to use Codeigniter, now I always choose Laravel for web app and Lumen for REST API.
Laravel is a bit hard to learn at beginning. But then you will be falling in love to it.

One thing that does not get discussed much is the deployment process of frameworks. CodeIgniter does not require any extra effort to deploy a project since it doesn't require any special configuration on web server.

Codeigniter is by far the most efficient, fast, logic and simple framework ever!!! All the other frameworks will lead you to slow and slower development timeline and keep you blind of what it is all about! Businesses should really not listen to nerds and rigid PHP developers who say otherwise. It will cost them more time and money to develop fast, reliable applications. This is a full-proof opinion and based on more then hundred of great applications i have build and they are all fast and very clean! Long live CI community we love u!!!

[infrawitiotsolutions]

Codeigniter is best suited for minimal applications. Laravel is great in handling larger applications. However, Codeigniter is the king for those who not tasted the flavor of Laravel yet.

I was going to write a joke saying that the real reason to use Codeigniter is to wait until Grocery CRUD is available for Laravel but... OOHHH finally it is here!!! thanks a looot!!

Hola grocery...excelente video y comparación presisamente estoy jugando con los dos framework y me aclarastes muchas dudas.

Hello grocery ... excellent video and comparison presisamente I am playing
with both frames and clarified many doubts.

[Maman-Setrum]

so many people said that CI is out of date, they always was laravel is better then CI. but IMHO, laravel is suck... to many to configure at beginning... laravel user always said lavarel better in CLI, so what? is that CLI important?absolutely not.. I always do CLI not using PHP but nodejs, who is php programmer dosn't now javascript? almost php programmer must know javascript, and CLI in nodejs absolutely easy and extremely fast, so CLI in laravel important..just suck, its just nonsense. copy n paste framework really work for me and CI can do that. configure anything can do while in beginning, middle or almost ending programming project and CI ok for that

[christopherjackson]

Could you make a comparison of symfony and laravel?

What did you use to make this slideshow/presentation video? I like how things move around and would like to do something similar.

[MelroyvandenBerg]

I use codeigniter 4. I'm really really impressed by the simplicity as well as the speed. It's very powerful. It's definitely not only for small projects.
