Product Decisions This Supports

API contract strategy: decide whether a JSON-RPC API should be contract-first and machine-readable; this package provides type-safe PHP model classes for generating an OpenRPC specification instead of hand-maintaining JSON.
Build vs buy: borrow a small Apache-licensed model layer rather than building OpenRPC DTOs from scratch; keep the generation workflow thin and replaceable.
Roadmap support: useful if the roadmap includes JSON-RPC endpoints, generated API docs, contract testing, client/SDK generation, or internal developer tooling. Not relevant for typical REST/OpenAPI products.
Developer experience: enables a Laravel Artisan command or CI step that emits openrpc.json, publishes it to docs, and validates implementation/spec drift.
Risk decision: with 3 stars and 0 dependents, treat it as a pilot/internal dependency, not a critical-path platform bet; pin, wrap, test, and retain a fork/vendor option.

When to Consider This Package

Consider it when a PHP/Laravel backend exposes or documents JSON-RPC APIs, the team wants type-safe OpenRPC model classes, and the scope is small enough to tolerate an immature dependency.
Also consider it for internal developer platforms, spec-first contract tests, documentation pipelines, or generated clients where OpenRPC is the chosen standard.
Look elsewhere if the product uses REST/OpenAPI, needs a Laravel-native package, requires active community support/security response/SLA, or cannot absorb maintenance risk.
Avoid making it a critical public-contract dependency until due diligence covers maintenance activity, release history, test coverage, PHP/Laravel compatibility, and fallback/fork cost.

Executives: A low-cost, Apache-licensed building block for JSON-RPC API contracts. It can reduce hand-written spec drift and support docs/codegen, but its tiny adoption means it should be positioned as an internal pilot or bounded dependency, not a strategic platform commitment.
Engineering: Provides OpenRPC model classes via Composer. Expect integration work: wrap it in an application service or Artisan command, pin the version, add contract tests, and generate openrpc.json in CI. There is no Laravel-native integration, so keep the adapter thin and retain a fork/vendor fallback.
