## What it is
A PHP library that enables serializing and unserializing closures and anonymous functions, which PHP does not allow natively. It offers two analyzers (token-based and AST-based) with different feature and performance tradeoffs.

## Use cases
- serialize a PHP closure to store it in a cache or database
- pass an anonymous function between processes or over a queue
- persist a callback with its bound context for later execution
- unserialize a closure definition back into a callable

## When to choose
- you are stuck on a legacy PHP codebase that already depends on it
- you need closure serialization and cannot migrate to a maintained alternative

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - use opis/closure instead
- you need security fixes or support for modern PHP versions
- your closures rely on features only newer PHP runtimes provide

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: serialization
- domain: developer-tools, programming-languages
- platform: php
- tags: closures, php, serialization, abandoned
