Are there any alternative methods or tools that can be used in place of Pear for PHP development?

Pear has been deprecated and is no longer actively maintained, so it is recommended to use alternative methods or tools for PHP development. Composer is a popular dependency manager for PHP that can be used in place of Pear. Composer allows you to easily manage and install PHP libraries and packages for your projects.

// Example Composer.json file
{
    "require": {
        "monolog/monolog": "^2.0"
    }
}
