A lightweight PHP library providing a simple, modern API for PHP's native stream filtering system. It lets developers attach callback-based filters to streams for on-the-fly transformations like decompression and character encoding transcoding.

Use cases

• read gzip-compressed files as streams in php
• transcode iso-8859-1 to utf-8 on the fly
• write to bzip2 output stream
• attach a callback filter to a php stream
• remove stream filters from a php stream

When to choose

• you need stream transformations in PHP without wrestling with the awkward native stream filter API
• you want a tiny dependency with a clean functional API for filtering streams
• you process large files incrementally and need memory-efficient on-the-fly transformations

When to avoid

• your project is not in PHP
• you need full async or non-blocking stream processing rather than simple filters
• you need higher-level file processing abstractions rather than raw stream filters
