- Description:
QB stands for "Quick Binary".
It's a PHP extension designed to enable faster handling of binary data.
It takes a function written in PHP and translate it for a specialized
virtual machine. The use of static type information leads significantly
higher performance than under PHP's regular dynamic type system.
A PHP+QB function can run anywhere from five to twenty times faster
than regular PHP code. For even higher level of performance, one can compile
PHP+QB functions to native code (on supported platforms).
QB performs code translation on a per-function basis. It does not affect
in anyway code not specially marked. Interaction between PHP+QB functions
and regular PHP code is basically seamless. A key design objective of QB
is to let developers harness greater processing power than what baseline
PHP offers without the risk involved in adopting a brand new platform.
Packages
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
