W3C WebDriver Client
====================

[](#w3c-webdriver-client)

This "classic" W3C WebDriver client implementation is based on the [php-webdriver](https://github.com/instaclick/php-webdriver/tree/upstream)project by Justin Bishop. Originally conceived as a thin wrapper around the JSON Wire Protocol, the client has been refactored to work with the W3C WebDriver Protocol, with some fallback/emulation for older drivers. We'll continue to track changes to the specs but there are no immediate plans to add WebDriver-BiDi support.

If you are starting a new project (using PHP 7.3 or above), you should consider using Meta/Facebook's completely rewritten (and more actively maintained) [php-webdriver](https://github.com/php-webdriver/php-webdriver).

[](#notes)

- The *1.x* branch is up-to-date with the legacy [Selenium 2 JSON Wire Protocol](https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/legacy/json_wire_protocol/).
- The *5.2.x* branch is no longer maintained. This branch features class names and file re-organization that follow PEAR/ZF1 conventions. Bug fixes and enhancements from the master branch likely won't be backported.
