Smart Http Client for PHP.
--------------------------

[](#smart-http-client-for-php)

Lush is a small Http client that focuses on the most basic use cases. It also tries to format the responses to objects, so you don't have to. This makes Lush great for API requests.

Lush can be installed in any PHP application through composer, but has some extras when used in combination with Laravel.
