Using composer with WordPress
Composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP. It allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on and it will manage (install/update) them for you. Composer resolves dependencies declared in a composer.json file and installs the packages into a vendor directory. It supports semantic versioning so you can specify versions and ranges of dependencies. You can use Composer to install WordPress and its plugins/themes by requiring them as dependencies.
