## What it is
A PHP library that wraps PHP's tokenizer extension, providing an object-oriented interface for working with tokenized PHP source code. It was primarily used by PHPUnit's code coverage components.

## Use cases
- tokenize php source code
- analyze php code structure
- build php static analysis tools
- inspect php tokens programmatically
- support code coverage tooling

## When to choose
- you need an OO wrapper around PHP's tokenizer for legacy PHPUnit versions
- you are maintaining tooling that depends on phpunit/php-token-stream

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - it is deprecated in favor of nikic/php-parser
- you need a full AST rather than a token stream
- you need actively maintained parsing features

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: parser, developer-tools
- domain: parsers, developer-tools, testing
- platform: php, cli
- tags: tokenizer, phpunit, static-analysis, code-analysis
