...The library manually implements HTTP over TCP sockets; as such it has no dependency on ext/curl. Streams entity bodies for memory management with large transfers. Supports all standard and custom HTTP method verbs. Simplifies HTTP form submissions. Implements secure-by-default TLS. Supports cookies and sessions. Functions seamlessly behind HTTP proxies. Additionally, you might want to install the nghttp2 library to take advantage of FFI to speed up and reduce the memory usage on PHP 7.4. More extensive code examples reside in the examples directory.

...Sockets provide only low-level access and require you to build most of the HTTP response parsing yourself. Requests allows you to send HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH HTTP requests. You can add headers, form data, multipart files, and parameters with basic arrays, and access the response data in the same way. Requests uses cURL and fsockopen, depending on what your system has available, but abstracts all the nasty stuff out of your way, providing a consistent API.
