## What it is
A Go library that reimplements over 140 of PHP's common built-in functions (string, array, date/time, math, filesystem, URL, and more) in pure Go. It helps developers porting PHP code to Go or PHP developers seeking familiar function names.

## Use cases
- port php code to go
- use php string functions in golang
- php array functions equivalent in go
- migrate php project to golang
- php strtotime in go
- familiar php helpers for go developers

## When to choose
- you are translating PHP codebases to Go and want drop-in equivalents for built-in functions
- you want a small dependency-free MIT-licensed helper library with familiar PHP naming

## When to avoid
- you are writing idiomatic Go from scratch and prefer native standard library idioms
- you need full PHP semantics or the latest PHP functions beyond the ~140 implemented

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, file-system, date-time, serialization, json
- domain: developer-tools, programming-languages, cross-platform
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: php, go, porting, standard-library, string-functions, array-functions
