Migrating from [`thephpleague/fractal`](https://github.com/thephpleague/fractal) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [](#migrating-from-thephpleaguefractal) This uses different namespace to `thephpleague/fractal`, but overall, provides the same API, that makes migration to this repository pretty easy: 1. Run `composer remove thephpleague/fractal`> **Info** An error will appear because the package is still in use, ignore it. 2. Replace all the occurrences of `League\Fractal` with `PHPOpenSourceSaver\Fractal`. > **Tip**: You can use *Find and Replace* feature of your IDE. Try it with Ctrl + Shift + R 3. Run `composer require php-open-source-saver/fractal` Notes ----- [](#notes) Fractal provides a presentation and transformation layer for complex data output, the like found in RESTful APIs, and works really well with JSON. Think of this as a view layer for your JSON/YAML/etc. When building an API it is common for people to just grab stuff from the database and pass it to `json_encode()`. This might be passable for "trivial" APIs but if they are in use by the public, or used by mobile applications then this will quickly lead to inconsistent output. Goals ----- [](#goals) - Create a protective shield between source data and output, so schema changes do not affect users - Systematic type-casting of data, to avoid `foreach()`ing through and `(bool)`ing everything - Include (a.k.a embedding, nesting or side-loading) relationships for complex data structures - Work with standards like HAL and JSON-API but also allow custom serialization - Support the pagination of data results, for small and large data sets alike - Generally ease the subtle complexities of outputting data in a non-trivial API This package is compliant with [PSR-1](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-1-basic-coding-standard.md), [PSR-2](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-2-coding-style-guide.md) and [PSR-4](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-4-autoloader.md).
