Facebook Instant Articles SDK Extensions in PHP

The Extension package consists of:

• Environment: PHP >= 5.4
• Dependencies: It relies solely on the Instant Articles SDK and its dependencies to get the Instant Article markup format available into the Elements object tree structure. It also depends on Composer dependency manager.
• AMP: The AMP transformation was based on the current implementation and definition from AMP project.
