What are the advantages of using Composer to manage dependencies in PHP projects?

Using Composer to manage dependencies in PHP projects helps streamline the process of including external libraries and packages into your project. It simplifies the installation and updating of dependencies, ensures that the correct versions are used, and helps manage conflicts between different packages. 

// Example of using Composer to install a package
// First, create a composer.json file with the required package
// {
//    "require": {
//        "vendor/package": "^1.0"
//    }
// }
// Then run `composer install` in the terminal to install the package
