Basic usage

use AdachSoft\ComposerEditor\PublicApi\ComposerEditorBuilder;

$builder = new ComposerEditorBuilder();

// Load existing composer.json
$editor = $builder->load('composer.json');

// Edit fields
$editor->setDescription('My awesome package');
$editor->addRequire('symfony/console', '^6.0');
$editor->addKeyword('php');

// Save changes
$editor->save();

// Create new composer.json from scratch
$dto = new CreateComposerJsonDto(
    'vendor/package',
    'Description goes here'
);
$newEditor = $builder->create('composer.json', $dto);
$newEditor->save();
