The main objective of the Reflection component is to enhance PHP by type information and annotations. It uses source code documentation to determine data types and other pieces of information provided via annotations. Those annotations can be used to realize systems which depend on strong type information or additional details about the source code itself.

Build-time, attribute-driven code generator: write a stub class, mark members with #[DefinerAttribute], and get a real, finished PHP class back — conventions filled in (event names, ids, ...), or whole getters/setters/builder classes generated from the stub's properties. Unlike runtime-reflection tools, the output is a plain PHP file with zero dependency on this library and no per-request reflection cost; useful for scaffolding DDD value objects/aggregates/events, command classes and other boilerplate. Postprocessing (transforming code, e.g. phpcbf/php-cs-fixer/rector), quality checks (evaluating code, e.g. PHPStan/Psalm/PHPCS) and framework-specific conventions (e.g. Laravel table/id naming) ship as separate packages — see birb/fancy-stubs-codegen-postprocessors, birb/fancy-stubs-codegen-code-quality and birb/fancy-stubs-codegen-laravel.
