## What it is
ThinkPHP is a high-performance, lightweight PHP web application framework with two decades of development history, now rebuilt on PHP 8.0+. It provides routing, ORM (think-orm), templating, middleware, and PSR-compliant architecture for rapid web application development.

## Use cases
- build web applications in php
- php framework with orm and routing
- rapid backend development for web apps
- develop rest apis in php
- build admin panels and cms backends
- migrate legacy php 6.x thinkphp apps to php 8

## When to choose
- you want a mature, lightweight PHP framework with strong Chinese-language documentation and community
- you need an integrated ORM, routing, and templating stack out of the box
- your team already knows ThinkPHP and is upgrading from 6.x to PHP 8

## When to avoid
- you prefer the dominant international PHP ecosystem (Laravel/Symfony) with broader third-party packages
- you need a microframework or async/event-driven PHP runtime
- your project requires English-first documentation and support

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, orm, routing, templating, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
