## What it is
Stringy is a PHP string manipulation library offering an object-oriented, chainable API with full multibyte (UTF-8) support. It provides dozens of methods for case conversion, trimming, padding, searching, and other common string operations that work correctly with Unicode text.

## Use cases
- manipulate UTF-8 strings safely in PHP
- convert strings to camelCase, snake_case, or title case
- handle multibyte text without mbstring boilerplate
- chain string transformations in a readable way
- check if a string contains, starts with, or ends with a substring
- slugify or dasherize strings for URLs

## When to choose
- your PHP project processes non-ASCII or multibyte text
- you want a fluent, chainable alternative to PHP's scattered string functions
- you need consistent string handling across PHP 5.4+, 7+, or HHVM

## When to avoid
- you only work with ASCII strings and prefer native PHP functions
- you need a library under active development with recent commits
- your framework already bundles a modern string utility (e.g., Laravel's Str)
