A PHP library that resolves DocBlock type expressions and structural element names according to PSR-5, turning partial class names into fully qualified names. It provides TypeResolver and FqsenResolver classes that return value objects for types like primitives, compounds, arrays, and FQSENs.

Use cases

• resolve docblock type annotations into type objects
• convert partial class names to fully qualified class names
• parse @var and @return type expressions in PHP docblocks
• resolve FQSENs for methods, properties, and constants
• build static analysis or documentation tools for PHP

When to choose

• you are building a PHP documentation generator or static analyzer
• you need PSR-5 compliant type parsing in PHP
• you need to resolve partial class names against a class context

When to avoid

• you need runtime type checking or validation of values
• you work outside the PHP ecosystem
• you need full static analysis rather than name/type resolution
