Magento Overview

Magento is an open-source e-commerce platform written in PHP. It offers a comprehensive suite of business tools that enhance the user experience, including enterprise-grade scalability, inbuilt rich snippets for structured data, a new file structure for easier customization, CSS preprocessing using LESS & CSS URL resolver, improved performance, and a more structured code base. Magento applies the conventions of object-oriented programming and model–view–controller architecture and uses the entity–attribute–value model to store data. Magento 2 introduces the Model-View-ViewModel pattern to its front-end code using the JavaScript library Knockout.js.
