What the Avro PHP library is
============================

[](#what-the-avro-php-library-is)

A library for using [Avro](http://avro.apache.org/) with PHP.

Requirements
============

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 8.1
- On 32-bit platforms, the [GMP PHP extension](http://php.net/gmp)
- For testing, [PHPUnit](http://www.phpunit.de/)
- For Deflate codec, [Zlib](https://www.php.net/zlib)
- For Snappy codec, [Snappy](http://google.github.io/snappy/)

Both GMP and PHPUnit are often available via package management systems as `php5-gmp` and `phpunit`, respectively.

Getting started
===============

[](#getting-started)

Untar the avro-php distribution, untar it, and put it in your include path:

```
tar xjf avro-php.tar.bz2 # avro-php.tar.bz2 is likely avro-php-1.4.0.tar.bz2
cp avro-php /path/to/where/you/want/it

```

Require the avro.php file in your source, and you should be good to go:

```
