## Notes

Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client, installed with Composer, for sending requests and reading responses. It sends synchronous and asynchronous requests through one interface, streams large uploads and downloads, and uses PSR-7 message objects so other PSR-7 libraries can work with it. The HTTP transport sits behind an abstraction, so application code does not depend on cURL, PHP streams or sockets directly. Middleware lets an application change or compose client behavior.

## Worth knowing

The README marks the previous major line as Maintenance rather than current. The docs overview states an older PHP minimum than the package manifest, so the manifest is the one to check.
