This implementation is patterned after the built-in PHP session library, but is not a drop-in replacement for it. This library differs from the PHP session library in the following ways: - Requires PHP 8+ - Fully object-oriented - Strict mode is always on and cannot be disabled - Auto-start and auto-shutdown are not supported - Reading/writing cookie and cache headers is handled in middleware (included) - Handlers implement the built-in PHP SessionHandlerInterface, but the PHP SessionHandler class will not work because it depends internally on the PHP session extension - Session data is accessed using a Session object, not via $\_SESSION This library is ideal for single-process event loop-driven applications, using servers like [ReactPHP](https://reactphp.org).
