+# PHPMD is a spin-off project of PHP Depend and
+# aims to be a PHP equivalent of the well known Java tool PMD.
+# What PHPMD does is: It takes a given PHP source code base
+# and look for several potential problems within that source.
+# These problems can be things like:
+#   Possible bugs
+#   Suboptimal code
+#   Overcomplicated expressions
+#   Unused parameters, methods, properties
+# More details at https://phpmd.org/
