This project is a static analysis engine and type checker designed for PHP codebases. It evaluates source code structure and type annotations to identify potential bugs, type mismatches, and logic errors without executing the application. By parsing code into an abstract syntax tree and applying a rule-based validation framework, it enforces code quality and safety standards across a project.
What distinguishes this tool is its sophisticated type inference engine, which models dynamic language features, magic methods, and conditional types to maintain accuracy even in unconventional code. It supports incremental adoption of strictness through baseline management, allowing developers to suppress existing issues while enforcing higher quality standards for new code. The engine also provides deep framework integration, enabling it to recognize and validate patterns specific to popular development ecosystems.
The platform offers a comprehensive suite of capabilities for managing technical debt and ensuring architectural consistency. It includes features for parallel task distribution and result caching to optimize performance on large codebases, as well as extensive configuration options for defining custom validation rules and architectural constraints. Developers can further refine analysis precision through advanced type annotations, custom assertions, and environment simulation.
The tool integrates into development workflows by exporting findings in multiple formats, providing interactive visualizations for error management, and offering direct links to source code locations within local editors.
