## What it is
nette/utils is a lightweight PHP library of everyday utility classes covering arrays, strings, JSON, filesystem, images, pagination, validation, and random string generation. It is part of the Nette Framework ecosystem but usable standalone via Composer.

## Use cases
- manipulate strings and arrays in php
- safely encode and decode json in php
- crop resize and rotate images in php
- generate url slugs or strong random passwords
- validate user input in php
- paginate results with pagination math
- find files and directories with a fluent finder

## When to choose
- you need a well-tested, dependency-light utility toolkit for PHP 7.1+ projects
- you want safe JSON handling, image manipulation, or string helpers without writing them yourself
- you are building on the Nette Framework and want its standard utilities

## When to avoid
- you work outside PHP entirely
- you need heavy-duty image processing or a full validation framework beyond simple input checks
- you prefer framework-agnostic alternatives like Symfony's string/validator components

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: serialization, image-processing, parser, file-system, json, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, backend, files
- platform: php, cli, cross-platform
- tags: string-manipulation, array-helpers, pagination, validation, slug-generation, password-generation, nette-framework, composer-package
