Developer Experience
TYPO3 is a powerhouse that turns a set of open source components into an enterprise CMS. It can deliver the majority of a project’s requirements out-of-the-box while remaining developer-friendly, well-documented, reliable, predictable, extensible, and easy to upgrade.
Your CMS should make delivering both standard requirements and custom functionality easy. However, unique needs and business requirements typically make up only 20% of any given website project.
TYPO3 delivers 80% of the CMS functionality every project needs and frees up your developers to focus on the solutions that make you and your business special.

A Commitment to PHP Standards Recommendations (PSRs)
TYPO3 is modern web technology. Our adherence to the latest PSRs keeps your web project secure and current. We also help develop new PSRs, so TYPO3 evolves and grows with its underlying technology.
Defunct software is bad business. You need to trust that your CMS’s underlying software is kept up-to-date and inline with the latest in industry standards, and that the people working on it take part in defining what the benchmarks for PHP should look like.
The TYPO3 Core Team constantly updates the core to comply with the latest PSRs and contributes to the open source creation of PSRs. We frequently ship updates to our PHP-based core, while maintaining backwards-compatibility whenever we can.
- TYPO3 uses PSR-14 Events for event-handling and notifying other page components about a specific event.
- TYPO3 makes it easy to migrate to PSR-14 for event handling If you’re already using TYPO3’s past Signal/Slots technology
- TYPO3 Core offers dependency injections based on PSR-11 standards and Symfony’s industry-proven dependency injection principles
- The Composer Autoloader for PHP Classes powers extensions that ship a composer.json and define a PSR-4 class standard, and any TYPO3 installation that is set up with Composer automatically benefits.
- When the Composer Autoloader doesn’t work, the TYPO3 class loader steps in as a backup.
