Why ConcreteDTO?

[](#why-concretedto)

- **Tiny API** focused on constructor-first DTOs
- **Clear import/export helpers** for arrays, JSON, and custom converters
- **Immutability helpers** to prevent sneaky mutations
- **Framework-agnostic** and dependency-light

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require alvarez/concrete-dto
