Goridge is high performance PHP-to-Golang codec library which works over native PHP sockets and Golang net/rpc package. The library allows you to call Go service methods from PHP with minimal footprint, structures and `[]byte` support.

<br/>
See https://github.com/spiral/roadrunner - High-performance PHP application server, load-balancer and process manager written in Golang
<br/>

## Features

 - no external dependencies or services, drop-in (64bit PHP version required)
 - sockets over TCP or Unix (ext-sockets is required), standard pipes
 - very fast (300k calls per second on Ryzen 1700X over 20 threads)
 - native `net/rpc` integration, ability to connect to existed application(s)
 - standalone protocol usage
 - structured data transfer using json or msgpack
 - `[]byte` transfer, including big payloads
 - service, message and transport level error handling
 - hackable
 - works on Windows
 - unix sockets powered (also on Windows)

## Installation

```
composer require spiral/goridge
```

## Example

```php
<?php

use Spiral\Goridge;
require "vendor/autoload.php";

$rpc = new Goridge\RPC\RPC(
    Goridge\Relay::create('tcp://127.0.0.1:6001')
);

//or, using factory:
$tcpRPC = new Goridge\RPC\RPC(Goridge\Relay::create('tcp://127.0.0.1:6001'));
$unixRPC = new Goridge\RPC\RPC(Goridge\Relay::create('unix:///tmp/rpc.sock'));
$streamRPC = new Goridge\RPC\RPC(Goridge\Relay::create('pipes://stdin:stdout'));

echo $rpc->call("App.Hi", "Antony");
```

> Factory applies the next format: `<protocol>://<arg1>:<arg2>`
