Http Client
This library is a PHP HTTP client designed for executing synchronous and asynchronous network requests. It provides a standards-compliant implementation of the PSR-18 interface, enabling consistent interaction with remote web services and external systems.
The library distinguishes itself through an abstraction-layered architecture that decouples the request interface from specific network drivers. It utilizes a middleware-driven pipeline to process requests and responses, while employing a strategy pattern to parse raw network streams into structured objects based on content type.
The system supports non-blocking operations through event loop integration and manages large payloads via stream-based execution to maintain memory efficiency. It includes comprehensive utilities for handling headers, status codes, and request bodies during data exchange.
Features
- HTTP Client Libraries - Implements a PHP library for executing synchronous and asynchronous network requests and processing server responses.
- HTTP Request Execution - Executes synchronous and asynchronous HTTP requests to interact with remote web services.
- PSR-18 Implementations - Provides a standards-compliant implementation of the PSR-18 interface for consistent HTTP request handling.
- Network Request Frameworks - Provides a high-level framework for managing headers, status codes, and request bodies across network connections.
- Transport Abstractions - Decouples the high-level request interface from specific network drivers to allow switching between transport implementations.
- Asynchronous Event Loops - Utilizes non-blocking I/O primitives to manage concurrent network operations without stalling the main execution thread.
- HTTP Response Handling - Provides utilities to extract status codes, headers, and body content from incoming network responses.
- HTTP Middleware Pipelines - Processes outgoing requests and incoming responses through a chain of modular handlers that modify or inspect data during transit.
- REST API Integrations - Facilitates sending data to and retrieving information from remote web services using standard HTTP methods.
- Web Service Communications - Manages synchronous and asynchronous network requests to interact with external systems and process their responses.
