About:
XAMPP is an acronym for Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Perl. It is a fully featured, open-source software stack that provides a complete local web development environment. It allows developers to build and test web applications on their local machine without needing to configure each component separately.
Key Features:
  • Integrated Apache web server, MariaDB/MySQL database, and PHP/Perl support
  • Includes phpMyAdmin for easy database management
  • Cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • Simple control panel for managing server processes
Use Cases:
  • Developing and testing PHP-based web applications locally
  • Hosting a local WordPress or Drupal installation
  • Learning web server configuration and database management
Alternatives:
  • MAMP – Similar local server stack, but XAMPP is fully open source and free
  • Docker – More flexible and isolated environments, but with a steeper learning curve
