📦 Response – Elegant PHP API Response Handler

🔍 Overview

uxmansarwar/response is a powerful yet lightweight PHP package that makes it easy to manage structured API responses. Built with modern PHP practices, it follows a clean singleton pattern and supports result grouping, TTL, debug queries, and more. Ideal for Laravel, Symfony, WordPress, CodeIgniter, or raw PHP projects.

Developed and maintained by Uxman Sarwar, a senior PHP developer since 2013.

• Auto-collects $_GET, $_POST, and raw JSON input
