Sapien
======

[](#sapien)

This package provides server API (SAPI) request and response objects for PHP 8.1:

- *Sapien\\Request*, composed of readonly copies of PHP superglobals, and some other commonly-used values such as Accept, Forwarded, and Upload collections
- *Sapien\\Response*, a wrapper around (and buffer for) response-related PHP functions

These are *not* HTTP message objects proper. Instead, they are wrappers and buffers for existing global PHP variables and functions.

Install this package via Composer:

```
composer require sapien/sapien

```
