About Lite Saml
===============

[](#about-lite-saml)

[![Run tests](https://github.com/WebForPeople/lightsaml/actions/workflows/run_tests.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/WebForPeople/lightsaml/actions/workflows/run_tests.yml)[![Latest Stable Version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/2159884a00ddb2c528a607da280448c036aabd05eaa6220091667582a29ad48c/68747470733a2f2f706f7365722e707567782e6f72672f7765623470656f706c652f6c6967687473616d6c2f762f737461626c65)](https://packagist.org/packages/web4people/lightsaml)

Lite Saml Implements basic SAML 2.0 data model classes, serialization/deserialization to/from xml with XML security and certificates support, and message encapsulations to bindings. Covered with unit tests.

Version for PHP 8.3

Looking for a higher-level API?
-------------------------------

[](#looking-for-a-higher-level-api)

If you want to integrate SAML without dealing with the low-level data model, use the [web4people/saml](https://github.com/WebForPeople/saml) wrapper — it provides ready-to-use `ServiceProviderWrapper` and `IdentityProviderWrapper` built on top of this package.
