## What it is
A PHP library for parsing, validating, formatting, and manipulating URIs according to RFC 3986, RFC 3987, RFC 6570 (URI Templates), and RFC 8141 (URN), with WHATWG URL alignment and PSR-7/PSR-17 adapters. It provides immutable URI and URI-component objects, query string handling, IDN and IPv4/IPv6 host conversion, and modern replacements for PHP's legacy parse_url-style functions.

## Use cases
- parse and manipulate urls in php
- validate uris against rfc 3986
- expand uri templates with rfc 6570
- resolve relative urls against a base uri
- normalize or relativize links
- handle internationalized domain names in urls
- replace php's unreliable parse_url with a standards-based parser
- get a psr-7 compatible uri object for http messages

## When to choose
- you are writing PHP 8.1+ code that needs standards-compliant URI parsing, validation, or rewriting
- you need PSR-7/PSR-17 URI integration for HTTP clients or frameworks
- you must support IDN hosts, IPv4/IPv6 conversion, URN (RFC 8141), or URI template expansion
- you want immutable, object-oriented URL handling instead of PHP's legacy parse_url/string functions

## When to avoid
- your project is not in PHP or runs on PHP below 8.1
- you only need a full HTTP client or web crawler rather than URI manipulation itself
- you need a general-purpose data serialization or templating tool rather than URL handling
