A small framework-agnostic PHP package for reading metadata from WordPress plugin, WordPress theme, and generic ZIP archives.

It extracts useful package data from plugin headers, theme `style.css` headers, and WordPress.org-style `readme.txt` files, then returns a normalized metadata array you can use in Laravel, plain PHP, package upload flows, or custom update systems.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Parse WordPress plugin ZIP archives.
- Parse WordPress theme ZIP archives.
- Parse WordPress.org-style `readme.txt` metadata and sections.
- Convert readme sections to HTML with Parsedown.
- Detect generic ZIP archives and generate a stable slug from the uploaded filename.
- Use PHP `ZipArchive` when available, with a bundled PclZip fallback.
- Work without Laravel service providers, facades, or framework bootstrapping.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 7.4 or newer
- Composer

The package can use the PHP `zip` extension when available. If `ZipArchive` is not loaded, it falls back to the bundled PclZip implementation.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require hungnth/wordpress-package-parser
