Yii 2: The Fast, Secure and Professional PHP Framework
First read
Promising movement, but the picture is still partial
yiisoft/yii2 is active enough to inspect further, but the surrounding proof is thinner. Use the source repository and nearby comparisons to decide whether this is rising substance or just short-term visibility.
Visible
14.3K public stars in the current GitStar snapshot.
Needs a narrower context read
Active
Last commit Aug 20, 2026.
Fresh activity
Adopted
Treat stars as discovery context until a linked package appears.
No linked package mapping
Confidence
One or more key signals are partial, so GitStar keeps the interpretation conservative.

Compare lens
symfony/symfony and laravel/framework are the closest comparison targets GitStar found. A side-by-side comparison usually tells you more than a single raw rank.

Validation note
GitStar can summarize public signals for yiisoft/yii2, but the GitHub repository is still the primary place to confirm release cadence, issue activity, and maintainer intent.

🧭 Hype vs Reality
Insufficient Package DataGitStar can see repository momentum, but it does not have a reliable linked package signal yet.
Treat stars and recent movement as discovery context only until npm or PyPI usage is available.

No linked npm or PyPI usage signal
Method note
This label appears when GitStar cannot find strong enough package telemetry to compare attention against adoption. Compare it against other PHP repos before treating stars as a moat.

About This Page
This page provides a quick overview of yiisoft/yii2 based on GitStar's cached data. The signal chart reconstructs approximate checkpoints from current stars plus cached daily, weekly, and monthly star deltas, so it is best read as directional context rather than as a precise historical audit log.
