Opis String

Multibyte strings as objects

No more procedural programming

Opis String is a tiny library that allows you to work with multibyte encoded strings in an object-oriented manner. The library has no dependencies to mb_string or similar PHP extensions.

Just like in Java

The best thing about treating strings as objects is that you don't have to remember a quintillion function names and the order of their arguments. You will love using your IDE with this kind of strings!

Built for modern PHP

Opis String takes advantage of the speed and security provided by PHP 8, and of its other awesome features, like union types, named arguments, attributes etc. Making web development easier is this library's ultimate goal!

and that's not all..
