## What it is
Goravel is a full-featured, modular web application framework for Go, styled after Laravel so PHP developers can build Golang applications with familiar conventions. This repository is the full-featured project skeleton providing ORM, HTTP serving, authentication, caching, events, file storage, and an Artisan-style CLI out of the box.

## Use cases
- build a REST API in Go with a Laravel-like framework
- scaffold a new Golang web application quickly
- migrate from Laravel/PHP to Go without relearning conventions
- build microservices in Go with ORM and caching included
- manage app tasks with an artisan-style CLI
- add JWT or session authentication to a Go web app

## When to choose
- you are a PHP/Laravel developer moving to Go
- you want a batteries-included Go web framework with ORM, auth, and CLI
- you need a structured skeleton for a full web application or API
- you want modular components you can adopt incrementally

## When to avoid
- you prefer minimal, unopinionated Go tooling like the standard library or chi
- you need a framework with the ecosystem maturity of Gin or Echo
- you are building a non-web CLI or systems tool
- you dislike magic/facade-style patterns borrowed from Laravel

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, api-framework, orm, auth, authorization, caching, cli, routing, middleware, logging, rpc
- domain: web-development, backend, apis, developer-tools, microservices
- platform: go, windows, cross-platform
- tags: laravel-style, golang, skeleton, artisan-console, full-featured, php-developer-friendly, linux, macos
