## What it is
A PHP C extension (tideways_xhprof) providing hierarchical, XHProf-compatible callgraph profiling for PHP 7+ with low overhead. The project is now archived in favor of the revitalized PECL XHProf extension (longxinH/xhprof).

## Use cases
- profile php application performance
- find slow functions in php code
- generate xhprof callgraph data for php
- measure function-level overhead in php scripts
- profile php 7+ applications with low overhead
- collect hierarchical profiling data from php requests

## When to choose
- you need an XHProf data-format compatible profiler for PHP 7+
- you maintain legacy tooling already built around tideways_xhprof
- you need precompiled binaries for Linux or Windows

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use the maintained PECL XHProf extension (longxinH/xhprof) instead
- you want a full APM/profiling SaaS - use Tideways the commercial service
- you need the tideways.com-compatible tideways extension rather than xhprof functionality
