Reflect

What Is PHP Reflect

With PHP5 Reflection API the code to analyze needs to be loaded and interpreted by the php interpreter, and in certain cases, this triggers fatal errors.

With PHP Reflect you don’t have to trust in source code, because it will be parsed with tokenizer extension.

Features

Modern

Reflect takes advantage of new features in PHP 5.3.0 or greater.

Robust

Reflect is strictly tested. Checks code coverage and see by yourself.

Reflection API

Reflect comes with a complete reflection API almost equivalent to PHP5 reflection.

Solid Foundation

Whenever possible wheel reinvention was avoided. Reflect uses code from well-known projects including Symfony Finder, and EventDispatcher.

Extensible

Supported token parser is not enough for you ? Create your own. It is really simple!
