A Symfony PHP component that extracts information about PHP class properties (types, visibility, descriptions, accessibility) from metadata sources like reflection, PHPDoc, PhpStan types, Doctrine, and serializer groups. It provides a unified extractor interface used by frameworks and libraries such as API Platform.

Use cases

• get property types of a php class
• extract phpdoc metadata from class properties
• introspect class properties for serialization
• determine if a property is readable or writable via getters/setters
• build api resources from doctrine entities
• read phpstan type annotations from php code

When to choose

• you need unified property metadata across reflection, phpdoc, doctrine, and serializer sources
• you're building serialization, validation, or API tooling in PHP
• you're already in the Symfony or API Platform ecosystem

When to avoid

• you need runtime value access rather than class definition metadata (use symfony/property-access)
• you work outside PHP
• you only need simple reflection without docblock parsing
