What is it?
ramsey/collection is a PHP library for representing and manipulating collections of values. It provides object-oriented collection types so PHP code can work with groups of items through a consistent interface rather than raw arrays.
The library draws its design from the Java Collections Framework, so developers familiar with that model will find similar concepts for lists, sets, queues and maps. It is installed through Composer, and usage examples are kept on the project's wiki.
The package is MIT licensed and targets modern PHP versions, with the README noting PHP 8 support through its topic tags and CI setup.
