Phootwork is a collection of php libraries which fill gaps in the php language and provides consistent object oriented solutions where the language natively offers only functions.

The phootwork package includes:

- [collection](https://github.com/phootwork/collection) a library to model several flavours of collections
- [file](https://github.com/phootwork/file) an object oriented library to manipulate filesystems elements (*stream compatible*)
- [json](https://github.com/phootwork/json) a json library, with clean syntax and proper error handling
- [lang](https://github.com/phootwork/lang) a library to manipulate arrays and strings in an object oriented way
- [tokenizer](https://github.com/phootwork/tokenizer) an easy to use tokenizer library for PHP code
- [xml](https://github.com/phootwork/xml) an object oriented xml utility library

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

We use [composer](https://getcomposer.org) as dependency manager and distribution system. To install the library run:

```
composer require phootwork/phootwork
```

Each single package can be installed separately. I.e. if you want to include in your project the `collection` library only:

```
composer require phootwork/collection
```

> **Note**: the single library packages does not ship with tests and --dev dependencies. If you want to run the test suite or contribute to the library, you have to install the whole `phootwork/phootwork` package.

A Little Taste

The following examples show what you can find in this library. You can discover much, much more by reading the documentation and the api.
