doctrine/annotations

Features

• Doc-block Parsing - The project extracts structured metadata from doc-blocks using a specific syntax to configure classes and functions.
• Docblock Parsing - Parses structured documentation comments into usable PHP objects for application logic.
• Attribute Reflection - Uses reflection to locate and retrieve metadata attributes and tags from classes and methods.
• Class and Method Annotations - Provides the ability to retrieve specific annotation values from classes, properties, or methods using reflection.
• Annotation-to-Class Mapping - Transforms structured docblock annotations into dedicated class instances by resolving fully qualified names.
• Class-Based Type Resolution - Maps specific annotation tags to dedicated PHP classes to define the expected structure of metadata.
• Annotation Retrieval - Retrieves specific annotation instances from classes or functions using reflection to access configured properties.
• Class Metadata Inspection - Enables the discovery and retrieval of configured metadata attached to classes and methods at runtime.
• Docblock Tag Mapping - Maps specific doc-block tags to dedicated classes to define the expected structure of metadata.
• Doc-Comment Analysis - Extracts structured metadata specifically from PHP documentation comments and converts them into class instances.
• PHP Reflection Libraries - Provides a standardized interface for retrieving and managing custom metadata attached to PHP code structures.
• Reflection Wrappers - Extends reflection capabilities to retrieve and validate custom metadata attached to code elements at runtime.
• Docblock-to-Object Mapping - Transforms structured text within comments into instantiated class objects via name resolution and imports.
• Custom Annotation Definitions - Allows the creation of specialized classes to represent specific metadata configurations.
• Code Annotations - Extracts structured metadata from source code annotations for runtime analysis via reflection.
• Annotation Processor Validation - Implements validation logic to verify that annotations are placed on correct source elements and contain valid data types.
• Reflection-Driven Validation - Validates annotation placement and data types by comparing parsed metadata against target reflection properties.
• Parsed Code Caching - Caches the object representation of parsed docblocks to eliminate the overhead of repeated reflection and parsing.
• Metadata Caches - Implements in-memory storage for parsed annotations to reduce the cost of repeated reflection calls.
• PHP Code Analysis - Analyzes the structure and metadata of PHP source code to validate structural consistency.
• Coding Standards Enforcement - Validates source code against structural rules and style guidelines using automated docblock analysis.
• Parsed Metadata Caching - Includes a metadata caching system to reduce performance overhead from repeated reflection and parsing.
• Regex-Based Parsers - Uses regular expressions to analyze raw docblock strings and extract annotation symbols and values.
• Structural Rule Enforcement - Validates source code structure and enforces coding standards through automated docblock analysis.
• General Utilities - Library for reading class annotations.
