Laravel框架使用Routes来隐藏页面的扩展名

Question

I am new to web app development. Recently, I have been exposed to the Laravel for developing a web site. By convention, it uses /index instead of /index.php. I want to know the advantage and disadvantage of this practice. I assume this can increase the security level. Since the extension can be a hint to some hacker. Anything else?

Answer 1

These are clean URLs. The Wikipedia article is pretty good on explaining it, but the main reasons:

• Search engine optimalization.
• It's more aesthetic.
• Easier to use, read, write for the users and the developers too.
• Easier to memorize and share them.
