A minimal library that defines primitive building blocks of PHP code.
I have to disagree. To me, declaring a method via the @method tag (in rare cases) is equivalent to actually declaring it in a class/interface. Due to PHP limitations, the obvious lack of generics, and what I wrote earlier, I simply couldn't do it any other way. Take eg. HttpClientInterface from symfony/http-client-contracts or InputInterface from symfony/console, they had different reasons but the outcome is the same.

API Client Design Across Languages - Part 2 - Making Requests
Like Node.js, the PHP ecosystem has quite a number of good HTTP request libraries. Guzzle is perhaps one of the most well known, but there are many other popular libraries out there. Luckily, PHP also has some interface standards around HTTP clients and messages, particularly PSR-7, PSR-17, and PSR-18,
What are some alternatives?
console - Eases the creation of beautiful and testable command line interfaces
Guzzle - Guzzle, an extensible PHP HTTP client
http-client - Provides powerful methods to fetch HTTP resources synchronously or asynchronously
curl-impersonate-php - Curl-Impersonate-PHP is an implementation of the original project Curl-Impersonate, available at https://github.com/lwthiker/curl-impersonate, which introduces a specialized cURL build that can mimic the behavior of four major browsers. By using Curl-Impersonate-PHP, you can make HTTP requests from PHP using cURL but with headers and behavior that resemble Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge.
HTTPFul - A Chainable, REST Friendly, PHP HTTP Client. A sane alternative to cURL.
HTTPlug - HTTPlug, the HTTP client abstraction for PHP
PHP VCR - Record your test suite's HTTP interactions and replay them during future test runs for fast, deterministic, accurate tests.
common - A minimal library that defines primitive building blocks of PHP code.
Retrofit - Retrofit implementation in PHP. A REST client for PHP.
