CodeBuilder

CodeBuilder is a PHP library for code generation. It is used to generate program code.

CodeBuilder supports different backends that emit output code in different languages. Currently there are two backends:

• PHP
• C (incomplete)

Installation

CodeBuilder can be installed via composer:

"require": {
    "kipras/code-builder": "~0.1",
}

Usage

When can such a library be useful?
It is useful for example when you have some application logic that could be generated once based on some user input/action and then run many times.
