This package provides an implementation of the [RFC 4506](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4506.html) External Data Representation standard for PHP. It is built to be extensible; you can encode and decode custom data objects as well as primitive generics.

This package is currently in beta; the API is still subject to change.

Important Note: [Quadruple-Precision Floating-Point](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4506.html#section-4.8) numbers are not supported by this package as a native type. However tools are provided for you to implement this in your own project should you have the need.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require stagerightlabs/phpxdr
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use StageRightLabs\PhpXdr\XDR;

// Encode
$xdr = XDR::fresh()
    ->write(42, XDR::INT)
    ->write(3.14, XDR::FLOAT)
    ->write('Bad Wolf', XDR::STRING);

$payload = $xdr->asBase64(); // AAAAKkBI9cMAAAAIQmFkIFdvbGY=

// Decode
$xdr = XDR::fromBase64('AAAAKkBI9cMAAAAIQmFkIFdvbGY=');
$int = $xdr->read(XDR::INT); // 42
$float = $xdr->read(XDR::FLOAT); // ~3.14
$string = $xdr->read(XDR::STRING); // 'Bad Wolf'
```

More implementation and usage details can be [found in the wiki](https://github.com/stagerightlabs/phpxdr/wiki).
