XAMPP server software gives you the suitable environment for testing MYSQL, PHP, Apache and Perl projects on the local computer.
XAMPP Server is a free package and open source tools for windows, provide you to install and web browers of application that use (Apache,PHP and MYSQL). XAMPP stands for (X) Cross-platform, (A) Apache, (M) MySQL, (P) PHP, (P) Perl. we are configured the XAMPP server in your local system, XAMPP server easily work with PHP framework like (WordPress, Joomla, drupal, Codeigneter, Cakephp etc) by developers. It is easy to install and use. The Control Panel makes it easy to manage and implement.
Wamp Server is a free package and open source tools for windows, provide you to install and web browers of application that use (Apache,PHP and MYSQL). WAMP stands for (W) Windows, (A) Apache, (M) MySQL, (P) PHP. we are configured the WAMP server in your local system. WAMP is used in Windows-based systems for both 32 bit and 64-bit systems.

| Basis | XAMPP | MAMP | WAMP | LAMP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Supporting Platforms. | It is a cross-platform software package supported by platforms like Linux, Windows, and Mac OS. | This stack of software is only for the MAC operating system. | WAMP local server is only supported by Windows Operating system. | LAMP is supported by a single platform i.e., Linux based systems. |
| Programming Languages | The programming/ scripting languages used for development in XAMPP are Perl and PHP. | The coding for the development and testing is done by using PHP in the MAMP server. | WAMP uses PHP (a script-based programming language) for development and testing. | Unlike other similar local servers, LAMP is multi-lingual in terms of development. It supports coding done in PHP, Perl, and Python. |
| Database | XAMPP uses MariaDB, which is a relational database management system. It was developed by MySQL. | MAMP stores its data in a relational database. It uses MySQL for data storage and retrieval. | Just like MAMP, WAMP uses MySQL, which is an RDBMS for storing and retrieving operations on data. | LAMP supports its data storage function and other data-based operations using MySQL RDBMS. |
| Servers | Apache Server is used for testing and running webpages of local hosts. | It uses Apache webserver. | WAMP uses the Apache Web server. | LAMP, like the other local servers, uses Apache Web server. |
