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.
