swow

English | 中文 | 日本語

Swow is a multi-platform support and coroutine-based engine with a focus on concurrent I/O

Design Philosophy

Swow is committed to using the smallest C core and most of the PHP code to support PHP high-performance network programming, which determines that it is more about providing powerful secondary development capabilities by seamlessly integrating PHP code and C kernel, while ensuring critical performance.

In addition, it provides a variety of debugging mechanisms and powerful and low-threshold debugging tools, which can ensure that developers are free from the trouble of BUGs as much as possible, and ordinary developers can also have the ability to debug near the level of experts with the help of tools, so as to maximize development efficiency.

Installation

Like any open source project, Swow always provides the strongest stability and features in the newest release, please try to ensure that you are using the latest version.

Requirements

• Common operating systems such as Linux, Windows, macOS, etc. Almost same as libuv
