Free local web server
XAMPP was created by Apache Friends. It stands for Cross-platform (X), Apache, MariaDB (MySQL), PHP, and Perl. This development program serves as a web development server that offers the same services as other open-source web servers like Apache server, MySQL database, and PHP Scripting language. It also serves as an alternative to software stacks like WAMP and LAMP.
What is the use of XAMPP?
XAMPP offers an impressive stack that rivals WAMP and LAMP packages. It comes with all the essential parts of a web server—mainly the Apache HTTP Server, MariaDB database, and interpreters for scripts written in PHP and Perl programming languages. The components of this software are actually similar to actual web server deployments; this makes it easier to transition from a local test server to a live server.
