DuckType
========

[](#ducktype)

A PHP library for asserting duck typing and structural type compliance.

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

**DuckType** allows you to check whether an object conforms to a specific structure (methods and properties) defined by an interface or class, without requiring the object to explicitly implement that interface or extend that class. This is useful in scenarios where you want to ensure that an object can be used in a particular context based on its available methods and properties, embracing the concept of duck typing:

> "If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck."

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