Retrofit
A type-safe REST client for PHP that generates API implementations from annotated interfaces.
What is Retrofit?
Retrofit PHP is a type-safe REST client library for PHP, inspired by Square's Retrofit for Java. It allows developers to define REST API endpoints using annotated PHP interfaces, which automatically generate implementations to handle HTTP requests and responses, promoting clean separation of API definitions from networking logic and reducing boilerplate code.
PHP developers building REST API clients who prioritize type safety, maintainability, and a declarative approach, particularly those familiar with or inspired by Square's Retrofit pattern in Java.
Developers choose Retrofit PHP for its interface-based, annotation-driven API definitions that ensure type safety and reduce runtime errors, along with flexible integration with HTTP clients like Guzzle and pluggable converters for serialization, offering both synchronous and asynchronous execution modes.
