PHP Primitive wrappers.
-----------------------

[](#php-primitive-wrappers)

### Description

[](#description)

Types is a library that provides a collection of useful primitive wrappers, similar to what other languages can do ( Java, etc). It fixes a few issues some internal functions have, and limits coercion around native PHP functions.

> This library aggregates multiple PHP libraries and wraps them in a single repo, providing decorator classes / sub-types with some extra features.

[SPL\_Types](https://pecl.php.net/package/spl_types) has been broken since...forever. The last release was in [2012](https://pecl.php.net/package/spl_types). No library has tried to do this since, and SPL\_Types providing an empty interface for each primitive object was not terribly useful.

Libraries such as `Doctrine/Collections`, `Stringy`, `PHPMoney/Money`, `MyClabs/Enum` and others like them, are infinitely more useful. They provide rich interfaces that allow you to breeze through coding as opposed to trying to remember the name of specific functions for particular primitives.
