## What it is
The official Symfony Demo Application, a reference blog-style application demonstrating how to build web apps following Symfony best practices. It serves as a hands-on learning resource accompanying the official Symfony documentation and book.

## Use cases
- learn symfony framework by example
- see symfony best practices in a real app
- starting point for a new symfony project
- explore twig templates and doctrine usage
- reference implementation for symfony routing and controllers
- hands-on tutorial app for php web development

## When to choose
- you are learning Symfony and prefer learning by doing
- you want a canonical example of Symfony best practices
- you need a starter skeleton for a small Symfony application

## When to avoid
- you need a production application - it is a demo, not a product
- you use a different PHP framework or stack
- you want a minimal skeleton without demo content

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, templating, routing, orm, testing
- domain: web-development, education, tutorials, developer-tools
- platform: php, cli, cross-platform
- tags: symfony, demo-application, reference-app, learning-project, best-practices, twig, doctrine, web-server
