Drupal 8

Build something amazing.

With over 200 new features and improvements.

The world’s favorite open source content management platform just got better. Drupal 8 is the new standard for creating incredible digital experiences—for small businesses, global enterprises, and everything in between.

A more familiar approach

To create modern experiences, you need tools that build on advances in others. Drupal 8 adopts more modern PHP standards and relies less on procedural coding. You'll recognize much more of its parts and methods. You’ll save time working with more code proven to solve common problems. Drupal uses code that wasn't invented here, so you can build amazing things that work anywhere.

To reusing components

Drupal 8 ships with 10 built-in Symfony components, like ClassLoader for autoloading and caching project classes for performance. There’s HttpFoundation and HttpKernel for managing incoming HTTP request and responses. You can trust DependencyInjection to flexibly centralize the way objects are constructed. We reworked the backend of page controller resolution, thanks to Routing.

And to dependency management

Keeping third-party libraries and their dependencies up to date should be painless. To ease that pain, Drupal 8 supports Composer. Composer makes dependency management simpler. You declare the libraries your project needs, and it installs and updates them (and their dependencies) for you. That means speed, that means efficiency, and that means you can more dependably use other people’s libraries to improve your work.
