## What it is
PhpMetrics is a static analysis tool for PHP that computes quality metrics about projects and classes. It generates a beautiful, readable HTML report and can be integrated into continuous integration pipelines.

## Use cases
- measure code quality metrics of a PHP project
- generate an HTML report of PHP class complexity
- enforce quality rules in CI for PHP code
- find maintainability issues in a PHP codebase
- analyze coupling and cohesion of PHP classes

## When to choose
- you maintain a PHP codebase and want quantitative quality metrics
- you want visual HTML reports of code health
- you need static analysis gates in your CI pipeline

## When to avoid
- your project is not written in PHP
- you need full static type checking rather than metrics (use PHPStan or Psalm)

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool

- function: static-site-generator, developer-tools, monitoring
- domain: developer-tools, testing, performance
- platform: php, cli, cross-platform
