Valinor is a dependency-free PHP library that maps raw inputs like JSON or arrays into strongly-typed PHP objects, validating values and producing human-readable error messages. It also provides normalization to convert objects back into data formats while preserving structure.

Use cases

• map payloads into typed php objects
• hydrate dtos from arrays or
• validate api request bodies against php types
• convert raw input into readonly value objects
• normalize objects to or csv
• handle advanced phpstan/psalm types like shaped arrays and generics

When to choose

• you want strongly-typed objects constructed from untrusted input with validation
• you need precise, human-readable mapping error messages
• you use advanced PHP types (generics, shaped arrays, ranges) in your models

When to avoid

• you need a full ORM or database persistence layer
• you only need simple _encode/_decode without type mapping
• your project is not PHP
