PHP Curl Class is a PHP library that wraps PHP's cURL extension in a simple object-oriented API for sending HTTP requests. It supports GET, POST, and other methods, authentication, proxies, and automatic JSON/XML response handling for integrating with web APIs.

Use cases

• send http requests from php
• call rest apis in php
• scrape web pages with php
• post json to an api
• use http proxy with curl in php
• download files over http in php

When to choose

• you want a simple object-oriented wrapper around PHP cURL
• you need quick HTTP client code without verbose curl_* calls
• you need proxy, basic auth, or cookie support in PHP

When to avoid

• you are using a framework that already bundles an HTTP client like Guzzle
• you need async or concurrent requests as a first-class feature
• you are not working in PHP
