zendAPI: A C++ repository from Qihoo 360

zendAPI 是什么？

zendAPI 是对 Zend Engine 的 C 接口使用 C++ 的最新标准 C++11 进行而面向对象的封装，从而屏蔽了底层 Zend Engine API 的接口复杂性，加快开发 PHP 扩展的效率。从而让 PHP 的扩展开发成为一种享受，不用在考虑不同 PHP 版本带来的差异性，让开发者专注于自身的业务逻辑。

What is zendAPI project

zendAPI is a project to wrapper the C API of Zend Engine into object oriented programming interface that implement with modern C++11 programming language. The zendAPI project provide php extension developer with a simple, rubust and OOP style API, so developer don't need learn the ugly and complex raw Zend Engine API, thereby let the php extension development become a simple and rapid task.

zendAPI 的使命

让 PHP 的扩展开发成为一种享受

The mission of zendAPI project

let PHP extension development become a kind of enjoyment!

为什么项目名叫做 zendAPI

考虑到项目本身就是对 PHP 语言引擎的开发接口的封装已经 PHP 的语言引擎叫做 Zend Engine，为了方便大家记住我便将项目命名为 zendAPI，官方网站使用 zendapi.org

Why I named the project zendAPI

The main goal of the project is to wrap PHP's raw C API into C++ OOP API, because of the virtual machine of PHP language called Zend Engine and our project is an OOP API on Zend Engine, so I give the name zendAPI to this project, the official website is http://www.zendapi.org

zendAPI 的特性

完全面向对象，对 Zend Engine API 进行二次定义
使用现代的 C++11 语法进行开发，便于维护
最大化屏蔽 PHP 版本对扩展开发的影响，zendAPI 将对 Zend Engine API 不同版本带来的差异屏蔽掉
高覆盖的单元测试，保证代码质量
在封装的时候，尽最大能力保证性能
致力于项目库的二进制兼容

Features

regroup the raw PHP C API according OOP style
using modern C++11 standard
support all the versions above PHP 7.0
well tested by runtime tests and unittests
high performance
efforts to provide binary compatible

Notes

time saving, when develop zendAPI project, I read the code of PHPCPP project, thanks for the team of this project, in some files I use some classes and functions from PHPCPP project and put the copyright header infomation in these files.

PS:

PHPCPP 的 github 地址是： https://github.com/CopernicaMarketingSoftware/PHP-CPP 大家有兴趣可以去研究。

国内同类型的项目推荐

目前国内有一个跟 zendAPI 比较类似的项目，这个项目是 swoole 项目作者开发，值得推荐。项目名字 PHP—X 项目的 github 地址是 https://github.com/swoole/PHP-X 大家有兴趣可以研究。

same kind of project in China

At the time of zendAPI developing, the author of PHP network library swoole give us a project named PHP-X, do the same job of zendAPI, here is it Github Repo address:https://github.com/swoole/PHP-X
