AMPHP is a collection of event-driven libraries for PHP designed with fibers and concurrency in mind. amphp/serialization is a library providing serialization tools for IPC and data storage in PHP.

This package can be installed as a Composer dependency.

composer require amphp/serialization

The main interface of this library is Amp\Serialization\Serializer.

<?php

namespace Amp\Serialization;

interface Serializer
{
    /**
     * @param mixed $data
     *
     * @throws SerializationException
     */
    public function serialize($data): string;

    /**
     * @return mixed
     *
     * @throws SerializationException
     */
    public function unserialize(string $data);
}

JSON serialization can be used with the JsonSerializer.

Native serialization (serialize / unserialize) can be used with the NativeSerializer.

Sometimes you already have a string and don't want to apply additional serialization. In these cases, you can use the PassthroughSerializer.

Often, serialized data can be compressed quite well. If you don't need interoperability with other systems deserializing the data, you can compress your serialized payloads by wrapping your Serializer instance in an CompressingSerializer.
