## What it is
The official documentation source for the Symfony PHP web framework, written in reStructuredText and published at symfony.com/doc. It covers everything from getting started to advanced topics like security, Doctrine, and deployment, and can be built locally for offline reading.

## Use cases
- learn the symfony php framework from scratch
- read symfony documentation offline
- look up how symfony routing or forms work
- contribute fixes to symfony docs
- understand symfony security and authentication
- find symfony installation and setup instructions
- check symfony version support and upgrade guidance

## When to choose
- you are developing with Symfony and need authoritative reference material
- you want to learn Symfony via official guides
- you want to contribute documentation improvements to Symfony

## When to avoid
- you use a different PHP framework like Laravel
- you need the Symfony framework source code itself rather than its docs
- you need a Windows-native local docs build (use WSL instead)
