Better Reflection Laravel Package
roave/better-reflection
Enhanced PHP reflection for static analysis: reflect classes without loading them, from PHP code strings or closures, extract AST from functions/methods, and read type declarations and docblocks. Feature-rich but slower than native reflection.
Compatibility with native reflection API
