About:
XAMPP is an acronym for Apache, MariaDB, PHP, and Perl. It is a cross-platform, pre-configured web server solution that allows developers to build and test web applications locally on their computer. It provides a complete local development environment stack out of the box.
Key Features:
  • Integrated Apache web server, MariaDB database, and PHP interpreter
  • Cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • Includes phpMyAdmin for easy database management
  • Simple control panel for starting/stopping services
