Problem Description
Recently I've read about namespaces and how they are beneficial. I'm currently creating a project in Laravel and trying to move from class map autoloading to namespacing. However, I can't seem to grasp what the actual difference is between PSR-0 and PSR-4.
**Some resources that I've read are...**
- [Battle of the Autoloaders][1]
- [Laracasts PSR-4 autoloading][2]
- [PSR-0][3]
- [PSR-4][4]
**What I understand:**
- PSR-4 does not convert underscores to directory separators
- Certain specific rules of composer cause the directory structure to become complex which in turn makes PSR-0 namespacing verbose and thus PSR-4 was created
Examples explaining the difference would be appreciated.
