Doctrine Annotations is a PHP library that parses docblock annotations (@-syntax in PHPDoc comments) and exposes them via reflection-based reader classes. It is feature complete and in maintenance mode, since PHP 8 native attributes replace it.

Use cases

  • parse annotations from php docblocks
  • read custom annotations on php classes via reflection
  • maintain legacy doctrine orm annotation mappings
  • define custom annotation classes for configuration metadata
  • migrate php annotations to native attributes

When to choose

  • you maintain a legacy codebase or dependency that still uses Doctrine annotations
  • you must support PHP versions before 8.0 where attributes are unavailable

When to avoid

  • starting a new PHP project - use native PHP 8 attributes instead
  • you need a library with active feature development
  • building downstream libraries without a legacy compatibility requirement
