- A minimal library that defines primitive building blocks of PHP code.
I have to disagree. To me, declaring a method via the @method tag (in rare cases) is equivalent to actually declaring it in a class/interface. Due to PHP limitations, the obvious lack of generics, and what I wrote earlier, I simply couldn't do it any other way. Take eg. HttpClientInterface from symfony/http-client-contracts or InputInterface from symfony/console, they had different reasons but the outcome is the same.

- API Client Design Across Languages - Part 2 - Making Requests
Like Node.js, the PHP ecosystem has quite a number of good HTTP request libraries. Guzzle is perhaps one of the most well known, but there are many other popular libraries out there. Luckily, PHP also has some interface standards around HTTP clients and messages, particularly PSR-7, PSR-17, and PSR-18,
