Overview:
ReactPHP is a production-ready and battle-tested low-level library for event-driven programming in PHP. With its event loop at the core, ReactPHP provides a range of low-level utilities such as streams abstraction, async DNS resolver, network client/server, HTTP client/server, and interaction with processes. Its event-driven architecture makes it ideal for handling hundreds or thousands of concurrent connections, long-running applications, and various forms of cooperative multitasking with non-blocking I/O operations.
