Magento has emerged as one of the Internet’s leading ecommerce solutions, and perhaps the greatest reason for this is the massive community that is constantly documenting new tricks and writing extensions.Yes, it’s originally an open source CMS for specifically e-commerce websites (Though owned by eBay Inc. now as a company). Written in PHP, it houses the MYSQL/MariaDB relational database management system & partial Zend Framework (an Open source, object oriented web application framework in PHP5). Magento uses conventions of OOP/Object Oriented Programming & a well-known Model-View Controller architecture. Additionally it uses Entity-Attribute-Value model in order to store data.
