Mutators and accessors are used in Laravel to manipulate data before setting or getting it from the database.


Mutators: Mutators allow you to automatically modify a value before saving it to the database. For example, you can create a mutator to automatically convert a value to uppercase before storing it in the database.


Accessors: Accessors allow you to manipulate a value when retrieving it from the database. For example, you can create an accessor to format a date in a specific way before sending it to the frontend.


Overall, mutators and accessors provide a convenient way to customize how data is stored and retrieved in your Laravel application.
