php-token-stream is a lexical analysis tool and tokenizer wrapper for PHP. It functions as a source code streamer that reads tokens one by one, preventing the need to load entire source files into memory.
The project provides memory-efficient parsing by wrapping the native PHP tokenizer extension. This allows for the sequential processing of source code tokens to analyze structural components and syntax.
The tool is designed for static code analysis and the development of compiler tooling. It supports linear token processing and sequential traversal to examine language constructs and project structures.
