Laravel News

Fetch PHP is a lightweight HTTP library for PHP inspired by JavaScript's fetch API. It leverages the Guzzle client to offer both synchronous and asynchronous HTTP requests via a simple API. Key features include methods for JSON decoding, text extraction, and binary handling of responses. It supports easy integration with Guzzle options for advanced needs.

Also they named it Fetch when Phetch was RIGHT THERE.

It’s depends on 8 Heavy libraries guzzle/http, nesbot/carbon, symfony/* and vlucas/phpdotenv. I really don’t see a reason to say its lightweight.

Most third party libraries are a truckload of junk. If you need to make one request, use CURL, if you need to make multiple requests use <code>curl_multi_init</code>.

Why would you try to make PHP look and act more like JavaScript?

I found it convenient for small tasks, but if you’re using Laravel, it already has everything included.
