Is the Symfony framework suitable?

Question

symfony

It is planned to develop a Rest Full API, 90% of whose operations will work with the product catalog (Analogue of Y. Market), as well as setting rates when working with the Tender Exchange (sellers will make their rates)
The main thing that should be in the framework:
- ease, speed, usefulness
- the Framework should be useful, that is, from the point of view of the project, can built-in caching? Maybe something else? That is, there should be pluses rather than writing in pure PHP
- the presence of a sufficient number of specialists who know it
. Is it worth using Symfony?

Answer 1

Great fit. There are quite convenient bundles for easy implementation of REST. https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSRestBundle

Answer 2

It seems to me that if you have such questions, then it is too early for you to take on such projects.
And on the merits of the question - take any trending framework, and you can't go wrong. Take Symfony2, Zend Framework 2, Yii2, Laravel, Phalcon. They are comparable, different people like different frameworks.
Personally, my choice is Symfony2. It will easily suit your task. But the more complex the task, the less important the particular framework will be.
Symfony requires good knowledge of OOP in general and PHP in particular. Other frameworks also require, but especially the symphony.
