Laravel 13 Reference

This technical reference examines the release details and advanced implementation strategies introduced in Laravel 13. It covers the framework's shift toward AI-native workflows, expanded PHP attribute usage, JSON:API resources, semantic and vector search capabilities, along with refinements in queues, caching, security defaults, and performance optimizations under the PHP 8.3 minimum requirement.
