Drupal also adopts utilities for serialization, validators, YAML, and translation. This helps Drupal leverage a well-adopted framework instead of creating its own code to achieve the same outcomes as exemplified by other PHP projects, such as Laravel and Joomla. Symfony components also helped define the platform requirements of Drupal, given Symfony 6.2 required at least PHP 8.1 and must maintain parity with the Drupal application.

Upgrading Symfony incorporates improvements such as bug fixing and stability...
