What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A PHP library for managing class, method, and property metadata from multiple sources such as annotations, YAML, XML, and PHP configuration files. It abstracts the metadata source behind a common interface via a MetadataFactory and driver chain.

Use cases

  • read class and method metadata from annotations in php
  • load configuration metadata from yaml or xml files
  • build a common metadata interface across multiple sources
  • attach custom metadata to php classes and properties
  • implement annotation-driven behavior in a framework

When to choose

  • you need to read annotations or config-file metadata in a PHP project
  • you are building a library that supports multiple metadata sources
  • you want a stable, widely used metadata abstraction layer

When to avoid

  • you use PHP 8 native attributes and need no legacy source support
  • your framework already provides its own metadata or attribute reader
