## What it is
A standalone split of Laravel's Illuminate Collections usable in non-Laravel PHP projects without pulling in the full Illuminate Support package. It is now deprecated since Illuminate Collections is published as its own package.

## Use cases
- use Laravel collections in a non-Laravel PHP package
- avoid depending on the entire Illuminate Support package
- add fluent array manipulation to framework-agnostic PHP code
- keep collection code in sync with Laravel releases

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy PHP package on Laravel 8 or 9 that already uses it
- you need Collections in a non-Laravel project pinned to older Laravel versions

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use illuminate/collections directly
- you need support for Laravel 10 or newer
- you want a package with an explicit license

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: serialization
- domain: developer-tools, web-development
- platform: php
- tags: laravel, collections, illuminate, framework-agnostic, deprecated
