Symfony Polyfill / DeepClone
This package provides a pure-PHP implementation of the functions and exception classes from the deepclone extension:
deepclone_to_array(mixed $value, ?array $allowed_classes = null, bool $allow_named_closures = false): array— converts any serializable PHP value graph into a pure array (only scalars and nested arrays, no objects).deepclone_from_array(array $data, ?array $allowed_classes = null, bool $allow_named_closures = false): mixed— rebuilds the value graph from the array, preserving object identity, references, cycles, and private property state.DeepClone\NotInstantiableExceptionandDeepClone\ClassNotFoundException
When the native deepclone extension is loaded, this polyfill does nothing —
the extension provides the same functions 4–5× faster.
The array representation preserves PHP's copy-on-write for strings and scalar
arrays, making repeated cloning of a prototype significantly more memory
efficient than unserialize(serialize()). It also serves as a cache-friendly
serialization format: when dumped via var_export() into a .php file,
OPcache maps the array into shared memory, making deserialization essentially
free.
This is the same wire format used by Symfony's VarExporter\DeepCloner.
