BunnyPHP

Performant pure-PHP AMQP (RabbitMQ) sync/async (ReactPHP) library

Requirements

BunnyPHP requires PHP >= 5.4.0.

Installation

Add as Composer dependency:

$ composer require bunny/bunny:@dev

Comparison

You might ask if there isn't a library/extension to connect to AMQP broker (e.g. RabbitMQ) already. Yes, there are multiple options:

• ext-amqp - PHP extension
• php-amqplib - pure-PHP AMQP protocol implementation
• react-amqp - ext-amqp binding to ReactPHP

Why should you want to choose BunnyPHP instead?

• You want nice idiomatic PHP API to work with (I'm looking at you, php-amqplib). BunnyPHP interface follows PHP's common coding standards and naming conventions. See tutorial.

• You can't (don't want to) install PECL extension that has latest stable version in 2014. BunnyPHP isn't as such marked as stable yet. But it is already being used in production.

• You have both classic CLI/FPM and ReactPHP applications and need to connect to RabbitMQ. BunnyPHP comes with both synchronous and asynchronous clients with same PHP-idiomatic interface. Async client uses react/promise.

Apart from that BunnyPHP is more performant than main competing library, php-amqplib. See benchmark/ directory and php-amqplib's benchmark/.
