## What it is
ReflectionCommon is a small PHP library containing shared interfaces and common classes used by phpDocumentor's reflection components. It serves as a foundation package for tools that analyze PHP code structure.

## Use cases
- build tools that inspect PHP code structure
- share common reflection interfaces across phpDocumentor packages
- implement static analysis of PHP docblocks and types
- develop PHP code documentation generators

## When to choose
- you are building on phpDocumentor's reflection libraries and need their shared contracts
- you need stable common interfaces for PHP code reflection tooling

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone reflection tool with end-user features
- your project does not depend on phpDocumentor reflection components

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: parser, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, programming-languages, parsers
- platform: php
- tags: reflection, phpdoc, static-analysis, shared-interfaces
