## What it is
Doctrine Common is a PHP library providing extensions to core PHP functionality, such as improved reflection support, proxy generation, and class loading. It serves as a shared foundation that other Doctrine projects depend on.

## Use cases
- extend PHP reflection capabilities
- generate proxy classes for lazy loading
- shared utilities for Doctrine ORM projects
- class loading with namespace separator handling

## When to choose
- you are building on Doctrine ORM or other Doctrine projects that require it
- you need Doctrine's reflection and proxy utilities in a PHP application

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone general-purpose utility library with no Doctrine dependency
- you are not working in the PHP ecosystem

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: developer-tools, plugin-system
- domain: developer-tools, programming-languages
- platform: php
- tags: doctrine, reflection, proxies, class-loading, php-library
