FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

FAQ
Hey, all the cool kids use OOP. Isn't this library pointing in the wrong direction?
It depends either on the situation or the extent in which an array is used. In PHP, arrays are often meat in different situations. At least, $_-variables are arrays. You can immediately wrap an Array into an ArrayObject, but then you can't use many of the features built into PHP directly. So I think I have to explain the advantages and disadvantages of each approach:
Advantage of array-functions:
- You don't have to make an object out of every array you wan't to apply certain functionality on.
- You can still use php's built in functions like array_merge() on arrays without the need for conversion.
- You can add as many functions by yourself as you wish. You could so the same with an ArrayObject-descendant, but then you end up with a god-object with tens or hundreds of methods (Closure-bindung?).
- You can always use the array-typehint and still utilize the extensions of this library directly.
Disadvantages of array-functions:
- Everytime you pass an array as a parameter to a function/method, the whole array gets copied.
- You can utilize an inner state that can help to track changes or whatever.
