Php Token Reflection Laravel Package

andrewsville/php-token-reflection

PHP library for reflecting and analyzing PHP token streams. Parse source code into tokens and inspect structures like classes, functions, namespaces, and docblocks—useful for static analysis, code generation, and tooling without executing the code.

Product Decisions This Supports

  • Legacy system maintenance where the package is already integrated, but requires a documented migration path to modern alternatives like PHPStan or Psalm to avoid accumulating technical debt.
  • New projects should avoid this package entirely; static analysis needs are better met by actively maintained tools, making this a clear "build vs buy" decision where buying this package is not advisable due to its archived status and lack of maintenance.

When to Consider This Package

  • Only for short-term legacy support where migration is temporarily blocked and the team can accept high technical risk (no security updates, license uncertainty, PHP version gaps).
  • Never for new projects or critical infrastructure; always opt for actively maintained alternatives like nikic/php-parser or PHPStan due to the package's archived status and lack of maintenance.
