## What it is
A PHP library that provides a custom autoloader aliasing legacy Zend Framework, Apigility, and Expressive class names to their Laminas Project equivalents. It eases migration of applications from Zend Framework to Laminas without code changes.

## Use cases
- migrate a Zend Framework app to Laminas without rewriting class names
- keep legacy ZF code running alongside Laminas packages
- alias Apigility and Expressive classes to their new Laminas names
- incrementally upgrade a legacy PHP application to Laminas

## When to choose
- you are migrating an existing Zend Framework, Apigility, or Expressive codebase to Laminas
- you depend on packages that still reference legacy ZF class names

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new Laminas project with no legacy Zend Framework code
- you need active feature development - the package is in security-only maintenance mode

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: middleware, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, backend
- platform: php
