Composer Constraints Parser is a PHP Experts, Inc., Project that is a clean-room implementation of Packagist's composer's version constraint system.
It is meant as a zero-dependency option to faithfully interpret whether any particular version number is satisfiable by a composer verison constraint.
NOTE: 95% of this code was generated by the autonomous AI agents of Autonomo, by Autonomous Programming, LLC. See https://gist.github.com/hopeseekr/fdb0ff9bd0957ea8d226ccc2def88d99
This project contains 100% of all of the in-the-world composer version constraints of every dependency of every package in the entire packagist.org database. These can be found in [tests/constraints.json].
There are 155,623 test assertions testing all 48,209 in-the-wild composer version constraints and has 100% fidelity. It is current as of 2025-04-01.
This is possible because of the Bettergist Collector API, which archives every PHP packagist package weekly and does deep analysis of them quarterly.
