A Composer plugin for PHP that provides fast, zero-IO access to the installed version numbers of Composer dependencies. It compiles package version data from composer.lock at install time so lookups at runtime require no file reads.

Use cases

• get installed composer package version numbers in php
• check dependency version at runtime without file io
• embed package versions in generated assets or artifacts
• log the versions of composer dependencies my app uses
• php library to read versions from composer.lock

When to choose

• you need dependency version info at runtime with no IO overhead
• you generate code or assets that must reflect installed package versions
• you want a tiny, stable composer addon maintained by a well-known PHP contributor

When to avoid

• you are not using Composer to manage PHP dependencies
• you only need version info at build time and can parse composer.lock yourself
• you are on PHP with Composer 2.1+ and can use the built-in Composer\InstalledVersions API instead
