Rather than having classes construct their own dependencies, a DI container manages object creation, resolves dependency graphs, and injects configured instances. This decoupling makes code more testable, more modular, and easier to refactor. In this article, we compare four popular PHP DI containers — <strong>PHP-DI</strong>, <strong>Pimple</strong>, <strong>League Container</strong>, and <strong>Auryn</strong> — analyzing their APIs, autowiring capabilities, performance, and ideal use cases.</p>
