Hprose for PHP is a lightweight, high-performance, cross-language RPC (Remote Procedure Call) library. It lets PHP services and clients interoperate with applications written in many other languages over a simple serialized protocol.

Use cases

• call PHP functions remotely from another language
• build a cross-language RPC server in PHP
• serialize PHP objects for network transport
• connect PHP microservices to services in Go, Java, or Python
• expose PHP backend methods to JavaScript clients
• implement distributed application communication in PHP

When to choose

• you need RPC between PHP and other languages with a shared protocol
• you want a lightweight alternative to SOAP/gRPC with minimal setup
• you need efficient binary serialization for PHP data

When to avoid

• you need gRPC or REST ecosystem tooling and standards
• your team only works in PHP and native PHP APIs suffice
• you need first-class HTTP/JSON APIs for public consumption
