PhpArrayDocument
================

[](#phparraydocument)

This is a parser/printer for a subset of PHP focused on data. (*It serves a role similar to a full-service YAML library - except with `*.php` data-files.*) Key features:

- Allows `array` values and `scalar` values (`string`, `int`, `bool`, etc).
- Allows comments for the overall document and for individual items in the tree.
- Allows *tagged-values* (a.k.a. *factory-functions*) which look like *global or static method-calls*.
- Allows deferred construction (`fn() => [...data...]`)
- Prohibits objects, loops, math, concatenation, includes, custom functions, etc.
