## What it is
A PHP library providing an array-like collection object (Map) for fluent, chainable manipulation of arrays, similar to jQuery and Laravel Collections. It wraps common array operations like filtering, sorting, and mapping into an elegant object-oriented API.

## Use cases
- manipulate php arrays with chainable methods
- replace verbose php array_* function calls
- filter sort and transform collections in php
- alternative to laravel collections outside laravel
- work with arrays of objects jquery-style
- group and aggregate array data in php

## When to choose
- you write plain PHP and want cleaner array handling code
- you like Laravel Collections but aren't using Laravel
- you want immutable, chainable array operations with callbacks

## When to avoid
- you need maximum raw performance for huge arrays
- your project already standardizes on Laravel Collections
- you prefer native PHP array functions and avoid dependencies

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, web-development
- platform: php
- tags: collections, arrays, fluent-api, chainable-methods, laravel-collections-alternative
