By using Composer developers can reuse stable PHP libraries and Composer will automatically handle dependency resolution. When you install a package, it will automatically install all the required dependencies for you.
Some of the benefits of using Composer includes:
Quickly integrate libraries from vendors such as AWS, Stripe, Pusher, Algolia, and many others.
Ability to use ready made packages that solve common problems. You need a validation package? search for validation on packagist and get started right away. You need to handle date? Search for Carbon on packagist and get started right away.
