FFI libuuid
===========

[](#ffi-libuuid)

This repository contains a binding of the `libuuid` library with PHP thanks to PHP/FFI. So this requires PHP 7.4 to run.

For now this is mostly a proof of concept to demonstrate the power of the FFI extension. In future, if and when the performance of FFI improves, it could be a good alternative to the [PECL UUID package](https://pecl.php.net/package/uuid).

Further details can be found in the following blog post [PHP 7.4 FFI: What you need to know ](https://jolicode.com/blog/php-7-4-ffi-what-you-need-to-know).
