Useful & Standalone PHP Classes By Symfony

Symfony, one of the most popular PHP frameworks around, is sharing several standalone PHP classes (under the Symfony Components website) which can ease the job of a PHP developer.
They don’t require Symfony to be used & can be used with any PHP code.

Currently, 3 classes are ready to be used:

YAML
It parses YAML strings and converts them to PHP arrays. It can also converts PHP arrays to YAML strings.
Event Dispatcher
It’s a good way to make your code more flexible. It’s also a great way to make your code easily extensible by others.
Symfony Event Dispatcher is a PHP library that provides a lightweight implementation of the Observer design pattern.
Dependency Injection
It provides a lightweight and robust Dependency Injection Container for classes that implements the Dependency Injection pattern.

And, 2 new classes are on the way:

  • Templating
  • Request Handler
All the code provided is very well-documented & totally free to use.

Requirements: PHP
