This package is a lightweight, fast, high-performance and strict implementation of the [PSR-7 HTTP Message](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-7-http-message.md) and [PSR-17 HTTP Factories](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-17-http-factory.md).

The package does not contain any additional functionality other than that defined in the PSR interfaces.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

> For a description of how to use the package components, see the [PSR-7](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-7-http-message.md) and [PSR-17](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-17-http-factory.md) specifications and [package documentation](https://httpsoft.org/docs/message).

For the convenience of creating requests to the server from PHP superglobals, you can use the [httpsoft/http-server-request](https://github.com/httpsoft/http-server-request) package.

```
composer require httpsoft/http-server-request

```

You can use the [httpsoft/http-runner](https://github.com/httpsoft/http-runner) package to run requests to the server and emit responses, as well as build the [PSR-15](https://github.com/php-fig/http-server-middleware) middleware pipelines.

```
composer require httpsoft/http-runner

```
