⚠️ PHP 8 introduced
[attributes](https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.attributes.overview.php),
which are a native replacement for annotations. As such, this library is
considered feature complete, and should receive exclusively bugfixes and
security fixes.

We do not recommend using this library in new projects and encourage authors
of downstream libraries to offer support for attributes as an alternative to
Doctrine Annotations.

Have a look at [our blog](https://www.doctrine-project.org/2022/11/04/annotations-to-attributes.html)
to learn more.
