Utility constants and helpers for PSR-7 HTTP messages: request methods, response status codes and reason phrases, and common header references. Not a PSR-7 implementation—just shared values to standardize HTTP message handling.
This package standardizes HTTP constants (methods, status codes) across PSR-7-compliant systems, eliminating magic numbers and inconsistencies in API development. It removes the need for custom constant definitions, saving development time and reducing bugs from typos or outdated codes. For build-vs-buy decisions, it leverages a community-maintained standard instead of reinventing the wheel, ensuring long-term compatibility with third-party libraries like Guzzle or Nyholm. Key use cases include building interoperable microservices, middleware components, payment gateway integrations, and any system requiring consistent HTTP semantics across distributed services.
Adopt this package when your project uses PSR-7 implementations (e.g., Guzzle, Nyholm) and requires standardized HTTP constants for consistency. It’s ideal for building libraries or tools that must interoperate with PSR-7 ecosystems. Avoid it when your framework (e.g., Laravel) already provides equivalent constants (e.g., Response::HTTP_OK), as this creates redundancy. Also skip it if your application doesn’t interact with PSR-7 messages directly—this package adds no
