PHPArkitect

Rules are defined in readable PHP, making them executable and self-documenting, as demonstrated in the configuration examples where constraints like naming conventions are expressed in simple code.

Enforces namespace dependencies and layer separation with precise rules like NotHaveDependencyOutsideNamespace, preventing architectural drift in medium to large projects.

Supports generating and using baseline files to ignore existing violations while catching new ones, with options to ignore line numbers to handle code changes without false positives.

Outputs results in multiple formats including JSON and GitLab code quality, facilitating easy integration into pipelines for automated checks and reporting.
