Nested Namespaces and Aliases

Create sub-namespaces and use aliases to avoid verbosity.

Nested Namespace Example

PHP namespaces can be deeply nested with more backslash-separated segments.

<?php
namespace Vendor\Package\Http\Middleware;

class AuthMiddleware {
    public function handle(): void {}
}

Long namespace paths make code verbose. Aliases let you refer to a class by a shorter name you choose.
