Nyholm PSR-7 VS L5-Swagger

As the documentation states, this package only performs the conversion, so we would need a PSR-7 and a PSR-17 implementation to convert the objects to and from PSR-7. We can use the library the documentation recommends, nyholm/psr7, but there are others.

The following example shows how to create configuration for the HTTP factories, using the nyholm/psr7 package:

Since the library is designed to be easily integrated with different frameworks, it relies on the usage of PSR-7 compliant HTTP messages. To fulfill this requirement, I'll be using the nyholm/psr7 package.

If you go strict PSR-7, as you see in nyholm/psr7, Tobias uses traits to add the functionality of the extended RequestInterface and MessageInterface:

The Symfony folks thought of this, however, and provided a bridge that converts HttpFoundation objects to PSR-7 ones. The bridge simply needs a PSR-7 and PSR-17 factory, for which they suggest to use Tobias Nyholm's PSR-7 implementation.

“In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.” (Dr. Albert Einstein). I believe same goes for packages, too. A good example is the [comparison](https://github.com/Nyholm/psr7) of some PSR-7 implementations.

The point is why would I pull in code in the first place that is not needed? If it is optional, then why is it not a separate package? Same with all of the bloated HTTP requests and response objects that frameworks and other libs usually use. I really like https://github.com/Nyholm/psr7 for that reason, it has a table in it's readme.md that is pretty much enough to know why I like it. If something specific is needed it can be decorated or extended on project level.

First, swagger-php generates openapi.yaml based on code attributes, and then the spectator checks API responses to match openapi specification. The popular L5-Swagger is redundant in this case, as it is based on the same swagger-php with the addition of Swagger UI.

Any particular package? I'm looking for something that will ideally inspect the api.php or controllers, and generator from there. I've found this: https://github.com/DarkaOnLine/L5-Swagger -- will give it a go.

I have been using laravel since one and a half years, mainly for apis building. I also use dotnet where the integration of swagger/open api is very easy. With some attributes, we can customize our documentation (http codes, possible return types,..). I am looking for a way to use it in laravel but I don't find one that satisfies me. I have tried [L5-Swagger](https://github.com/DarkaOnLine/L5-Swagger/) but I don't find it practical for several reasons : - Too much comments to write

The second one is L5 Swagger, a popular package bringing Swagger PHP and Swagger UI to Laravel. We actually don't need Swagger PHP here, as it uses Doctrine annotations to generate OpenAPI definitions and we're going to manually write our own instead. We do need Swagger UI, however, and the package conveniently adapts it to work with Laravel (the -W option is simply here to also update related dependencies, to avoid conflicts).
