cURL object wrapper.

====================

This library wraps PHP's native cURL extension functions with objects, for better code readability and testability.

Why? We wanted to lay an object oriented foundation for [PHP.Gt/Fetch](https://php.gt/fetch), our PHP implementation of the web's fetch API that uses cURL to create asynchronous HTTP calls with promises.

Example usage: Get a JSON object from a remote source

When working with HTTP calls, it is extremely common to work with JSON. This library removes the need of a lot of boilerplate code by buffering the output of `exec()` calls for easy retrieval later with `output()` or `outputJson()`.

Example using PHP.Gt/Curl:

--------------------------

```php

$curl = new Curl("https://catfact.ninja/fact");

$curl->exec();

$json = $curl->outputJson();

echo "Here's a cat fact: {$json->getString("fact")}";

echo PHP_EOL;

echo "The fact's length is {$json->getInt("length")} characters.";

echo PHP_EOL;

```

Same example using PHP's native `curl_*` functions:

---------------------------------------------------

```php

// Using native functionality to achieve the same:

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://catfact.ninja/fact");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$result = curl_exec($ch);

if(false === $result) {

	die("CURL error: " . curl_error($ch));

}

$json = json_decode($result);

if(is_null($json)) {

	die("JSON decoding error: " . json_last_error_msg());

}

// Note: No type checks are made on the `fact` and `length` properties here.

echo "Here's a cat fact: {$json->fact}";

echo PHP_EOL;

echo "The fact's length is {$json->length} characters.";

echo PHP_EOL;

```
