Fetch, simple PHP HTTP client
=============================

[](#fetch-simple-php-http-client)

// plain GET request
$res = fetch('http://uuid.lemmonjuice.com/');
$body = $res->body(); // returns response body
// get JSON data
$json = fetch('http://uuid.lemmonjuice.com/', [
  'headers' => [
    'Accept' => 'application/json',
  ],
])->json();
// POST data
$res = fetch('http://httpbin.org/post', [
  'method' => 'POST',
  'headers' => [
    'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
    'Accept' => 'application/json',
  ],
  'json' => [
    'hello' => 'world',
  ],
]);
```
