`salient/utils` provides utility methods via the stateless classes below.

> If your project uses `File::find()` or `File::pruneDir()`, [salient/iterators](https://github.com/salient-labs/toolkit-iterators) must also be installed.

- **`Arr`** works with arrays and other iterables.
- **`Date`** works with date and time values, timezones and intervals.
- **`Debug`** gets data from the call stack.
- **`Env`** manipulates environment variables, loads values from `.env` files, and applies values from the environment to the script.
- **`File`** works with files, streams and paths, and provides filesystem function wrappers that throw an exception on failure.
- **`Format`** makes data human-readable.
- **`Get`** extracts, converts and generates data. For example:
    - `Get::coalesce()` is similar to the SQL `COALESCE()` function
    - `Get::code()` improves upon `var_export()`
    - `Get::copy()` gets a deep copy of an object
    - `Get::eol()` gets a string's end-of-line sequence
    - `Get::uuid()` generates or converts a UUID
- **`Inflect`** converts English words to different forms, e.g. from singular to plural.
- **`Json`** provides JSON function wrappers that throw an exception on failure.
- **`Package`** retrieves information from Composer's runtime API, e.g. the name of the root package.
- **`Reflect`** works with PHP's reflection API.
- **`Regex`** provides `preg_*()` function wrappers that throw an exception on failure.
- **`Str`** manipulates strings. For example:
    - `Str::expandLeadingTabs()` expands leading tabs to spaces
    - `Str::matchCase()` matches the case of one string to another
    - `Str::ngrams()` gets a string's n-grams
    - `Str::snake()` converts a string to snake\_case
    - `Str::splitDelimited()` safely splits strings that contain delimiters
- **`Sys`** retrieves information about the runtime environment, and provides a handler for exit signals (`SIGTERM`, `SIGINT` and `SIGHUP`).
- **`Test`** performs tests on values.
