## What it is
A small PHP library that tokenizes PHP source code and serializes the resulting tokens into XML (and potentially other formats). It is commonly used as a dependency in PHP tooling such as PHPUnit's code coverage reporting.

## Use cases
- convert PHP source code tokens to XML
- analyze PHP source code structure programmatically
- generate XML representations of tokenized PHP files
- build code coverage or static analysis tools for PHP
- process PHP tokens for custom tooling

## When to choose
- you need to serialize tokenized PHP source into XML
- you are building PHP code analysis or coverage tooling
- you need a lightweight, Composer-installable tokenizer utility

## When to avoid
- you need to tokenize languages other than PHP
- you need a full static analysis or AST tool rather than token-level output
- you need JSON or other output formats without writing your own serializer

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: parser, serialization, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, parsers
- platform: php, cross-platform
- tags: tokenizer, xml-serialization, php-source-code, code-analysis, php
