Valinor
Valinor maps input data into strongly typed PHP structures without external dependencies.
About Valinor
Valinor is a dependency-free PHP library that maps raw inputs such as JSON and plain arrays into strongly typed objects. It constructs and validates the data during mapping and reports incorrect values with precise, human-readable error messages.
It handles native PHP types as well as advanced types used by PHPStan and Psalm, including shaped arrays, generics, and integer ranges. It also provides normalization to transform data into formats such as JSON and CSV while preserving the original structure. It is installed with composer require cuyz/valinor and distributed under the MIT license.
