## What it is
Buzz is a lightweight PHP HTTP client library for issuing HTTP requests, offering FileGetContents, Curl, and MultiCurl clients with PSR-7/PSR-17 support. The MultiCurl client adds batch requests and HTTP/2 server push.

## Use cases
- make http requests from php
- call rest apis in php
- send concurrent batch http requests
- use psr-7 http client with curl
- leverage http2 server push in php

## When to choose
- you need a small, PSR-7/PSR-17 compliant PHP HTTP client
- you want batched requests or HTTP/2 server push via curl
- you prefer a minimal library under 1000 lines of code

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured client like Guzzle with extensive middleware ecosystem
- your project is not PHP
- you need async promises beyond MultiCurl batching

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: http-client
- domain: web-development, apis
- platform: php
- tags: psr-7, psr-17, curl, http2-server-push, lightweight
