ext-eventloop
=============

[](#ext-eventloop)

A native PHP extension that brings a high-performance event loop directly into the engine. Inspired by and API-compatible with [Revolt](https://github.com/revoltphp/event-loop) -- not a replacement, but a **native alternative** written in C for zero-overhead async I/O.

> **Why?** Revolt is an excellent userland library. This extension takes the same proven API design and moves it into a PHP extension, eliminating userland dispatch overhead and leveraging OS-level I/O primitives (epoll, kqueue, poll) directly from C.

Key Differences from Revolt
