Unlimited flexibility
1. FullStack(completeversion):youwanttodevelopacomplexapplicationandyouneed
manyfunctionalities.
2. Brickbybrick:youbuildyourframeworkaccordingtothefunctionalitiesthatyouwillneed.
3. Microframework:asastandalone,Symfony2canalsobeusedtodevelopaspecific
functionalityinoneofyourprojects.Withouthavingtoredevelopeverythingandwithout
installingtheentireframework,butonlythespecificbrickthatyouneed.

Expandable
Fromthesmallestbricktothecompletecoreitself,everythingispresentedasabundle(or
plugininSymfonylanguage)inSymfony2.Eachbundleisintendedtoaddfunctionalitytothe
framework,ofcourse,andeachbundlecanalsobereusedinanotherprojectorsharedwiththe
restofthecommunity.
Stable and sustainable
DevelopedbySensioLabs,majorversionsofSymfonyareallsupportedfor3yearsbythe
company.Andevenforlifeasfarassecurityrelatedissuesareconcerned.
Forevengreaterstability,theminorversionsofSymfony2scontractandinterfacearealso
guaranteedandcompatibilitybetweenallminorversionswillbeensuredontheAPIdefinedby
thepublicinterfaces.
The joy of developing
Bytakingcareofanumberofunpleasanttasks(developmentofminorfunctionalities,for
example),Symfony2allowsdeveloperstofocusontheactualhighlightsofanapplicationandto
