Product Decisions This Supports

Whether to standardize monetary handling on a maintained PHP library versus custom currency/rounding logic.
PHP version support roadmap: v0.2.0 sets a minimum of PHP 8.1 and adds PHP 8.4 compatibility, so adoption and upgrade planning must account for dropping PHP 7.4/8.0.
Build vs buy: use a proven money value-object library instead of bespoke arithmetic, formatting, and currency handling.
For Laravel teams: decide whether to integrate this Symfony-oriented bundle or depend directly on the underlying moneyphp/money library with a thin Laravel service provider.

When to Consider This Package

You need precise monetary calculations, currency-aware formatting, and avoidance of floating-point errors.
Your application can run PHP 8.1+; if you still support PHP 7.4/8.0, remain on v0.1.x or plan an upgrade before adopting v0.2.0.
You are on Symfony and want bundle integration; for Laravel, evaluate whether a Laravel-specific wrapper or direct use of moneyphp/money is a better fit.
Look elsewhere if you need persistence, ledger/accounting workflows, tax engines, or payment processing—this is a value-object utility, not a full accounting system.

Executives: lowers risk of money-related bugs (rounding, currency mismatches) by using a proven library; lightweight dependency with low lock-in.
Engineering: v0.2.0 is a platform-support release—no new features—but it is a breaking change for PHP <8.1. It aligns the package with PHP 8.1–8.4 and provides immutable Money/Currency value objects; Laravel teams should wrap it or use moneyphp/money directly.
Roadmap: adopt now only if PHP 8.1+ is your baseline; otherwise schedule the PHP upgrade before taking v0.2.0.
