## What it is
A fork of ocramius/proxy-manager that generates and manages OOP proxy classes in PHP, adding long-term support for a wider range of PHP versions (>=7.1). It maintains compatibility with older PHP and Composer versions while incorporating improvements from the upstream library.

## Use cases
- generate proxy classes for lazy loading in PHP
- use proxy manager on legacy PHP 7.1 projects
- create interceptors and virtual proxies for objects
- support Composer 1 while using proxy generation
- implement the proxy pattern in PHP applications
- migrate gradually from old PHP versions without losing proxy features

## When to choose
- you need proxy generation on PHP versions older than the upstream library supports
- you are still on Composer 1 and cannot migrate yet
- you want a drop-in replacement for ocramius/proxy-manager with broader PHP compatibility
- you need stable, predictable versioning for progressive migrations

## When to avoid
- you are on modern PHP and can use the upstream ocramius/proxy-manager directly
- you need features or fixes that only exist in the origin library
- you are not working in PHP

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: middleware, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, programming-languages
- platform: php
- tags: proxy-pattern, oop-proxies, long-term-support, code-generation, lazy-loading
