Main goal of this project is to write a manifest in any [PHP Archive (PHAR)](https://www.php.net/phar) built with the [BOX](https://github.com/box-project/box) tool.

Features
--------

[](#features)

Provides a Symfony Console Application with the binary command `box-manifest` that :

- Can generate manifest in [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) tree format (`composer-tree-text` or `composer-tree-json`)
- Can generate manifest in [CycloneDX SBOM Standard](https://github.com/CycloneDX) format (`sbom-json` or `sbom-xml`)
- Can generate manifest in a simple key-value pairs `plain` text format (`key: value`)
- Can generate manifest in a decorated text format `console-style` or `console-table` (distinguish direct dependencies requirement and other uses)
- Can generate manifest in a custom user format
- Can generate a stub that should be able to display one or all manifests provided by the PHP Archive
- Can inspect a PHAR to find and display manifests contents
