I've been using XAMPP for years to develop websites, both on Windows, and more recently on Mac, and always found it extremely easy for creating & testing local sites & scripts. NB. I did find it to be a bit more involved when setting up on a Mac though, so if you encounter problems with access permissions follow the advice at this page. It solved the issue for me: WORDPRESS + XAMPP ON MAC UPDATE PERMISSIONS PROBLEM - http://dustinbolton.com/wordpress-xampp-on-mac-update-permissions-problem/

Websites cannot read and write SQL database if you're running XAMPP for OS X (Native version) on macOS Big Sur 11.0.1, neither XAMMP can export the SQL database.
