What is php-react-event-loop

Event loop abstraction layer that libraries can use for evented I/O. In order for async based libraries to be interoperable, they need to use the same event loop. This component provides a common LoopInterface that any library can target. This allows them to be used in the same loop, with one single run call that is controlled by the user. In addition to the interface there are some implementations provided * StreamSelectLoop out of the box with PHP. It does a simple select system call. It’s not the most performant of loops, but still does the job quite well. * LibEventLoop itself supports a number of system-specific backends (epoll, kqueue). * LibEvLoop supports the same backends as libevent. * ExtEventLoop the same backends as libevent. All of the loops support these features * File descriptor polling * One-off timers * Periodic timers * Deferred execution of callbacks Autoloader
