  Event-driven, non-blocking I/O with PHP.

  

ReactPHP is a library that allows you to turn PHP into something like Go or Node.js so that tasks can be performed asynchronously. Note that ReactPHP is just a library that you install with Composer. It doesn’t have cumbersome requirements, such as installing a custom PHP extension; it just works as intended.
