Faker
=====

[](#faker)

Faker is a PHP library that generates fake data for you. Whether you need to bootstrap your database, create good-looking XML documents, fill-in your persistence to stress test it, or anonymize data taken from a production service, Faker is for you.

Faker is also not written very well but it works. Its original autor went full rtd into doing huge business out of green hysteria so I made this Fork just to have original, non-biased library for me and others to use.

Faker is heavily inspired by Perl's [Data::Faker](http://search.cpan.org/~jasonk/Data-Faker-0.07/), and by ruby's [Faker](https://rubygems.org/gems/faker).

Faker requires PHP >= 5.3.3.
