## What it is
The source code of Packagist.org, the default package repository for Composer that aggregates public PHP packages. It is a Symfony web application explicitly not intended for re-use; it is open-sourced to enable contributions.

## Use cases
- find php packages for composer
- publish my php library to packagist
- contribute to the packagist website codebase
- understand how a composer package repository works
- search php packages by keyword

## When to choose
- you want to contribute code to packagist.org itself
- you want to publish or discover PHP packages via Composer
- you want to study how the main PHP package registry is implemented

## When to avoid
- you want to self-host your own package repository - use Private Packagist or Satis instead
- you need a supported, reusable package registry product
- you are not working in the PHP/Composer ecosystem

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: package-manager, search-engine, http-server
- domain: developer-tools, programming-languages, web-development
- platform: php
- tags: composer, packagist, php-packages, package-registry, dependency-management, symfony, web-server, docker, linux
