    Architecture

    Burner is composed of several libraries, including:

    • burner-core is a simple PSR7 and CodeIgniter4 converter, and also includes some CodeIgniter4 commands; because Codeigniter4 does not implement the full HTTP message interface, this library focuses on the synchronization of the PSR-7 interface and the Codeigniter4 HTTP interface.

    • burner-OpenSwoole uses this driver, your CodeIngiter4 will be able to run through OpenSwoole

    • burner-Workerman uses this driver, your CodeIngiter4 will be able to run through Workerman. In some test scenarios, Workerman has shown excellent performance advantages.

    • burner-RoadRunner uses this driver, your CodeIngiter4 will be able to run through RoadRunner. Unlike other Drivers, it has a PHP server implemented in Go, in addition to the framework's own support, the official also provides many convenient plug-ins.

    You can choose the most suitable driver for your project, and there is no absolute good or bad. It depends on the project requirements and the familiarity of the developer with the technology.

    With the support of Burner, your project will be able to freely switch between different high-performance PHP servers, or run on two different servers at the same time on different ports. For example, through RoadRunner to handle general HTTP requests, while using OpenSwoole to handle WebSocket requests.
