Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Some thoughts on the Interface Default Methods RFC
It's also not a big risk because if it does fail it will fail every time you just load the class that implements the interface so probably your while site will error. If you do cursory testing of the new version before you deploy it you can find the problem quickly before it becomes a problem. You can also do static analysis checks on your code to make sure its compatible with the libraries you use including when you upgrade them. And library maintainers can run Roave/BackwardCompatibilityCheck/ to make sure they don't accidentally introduce a new interface method without declaring a new major version.

PHP 8.1 is getting Enums, and here is an article about Enums in depth
btw when I talk about breaking BC I don't really mean not compatible with something stored in the DB using a previous version of the code. I mean not compatible with other PHP code written to work with a previous version of the code. It's the sort of issue https://github.com/Roave/BackwardCompatibilityCheck exists to detect, and for which semver says you have to increase the major version number on a library.

Design Decisions: Why use final classes
Making a class "final" is always a bad decision IMO. You would never know how will other people use your library. For example, we used JMSSerializerBundle and wanted to extend DateHandler to make it not to throw exceptions if a date string is invalid. But the class is final. So we had to just copy-paste it :(

JMS Serializer: This library allows you to (de-)serialize data of any complexity. Currently, it supports XML and JSON.
-
Yet another Data-Transfer-Object package
Only took a very brief look, but it looks nice. I like that the DTO class isn't required to extend anything, and that it seems to be for real DTOs used for actual transfer of data between systems - not 'local dtos'. It feels like this might be more comparable to something like schmittjoh/serializer rather than spatie/data-transfer-object.

PHP foreach loop to XML
When it's time to create the PDF, convert the object structure to an XML using an already existing serializer (like JMS or symfony serializer) or do this by hand.

Is there a better way to connect to an API?
One frequently used serializer is JMS Serializer which allows you to convert JSON or XML to objects (or the other way around if needed). You can then use the objects in your application.
What are some alternatives?

Fractal - Output complex, flexible, AJAX/RESTful data structures.
