Description

Hi!

I think this extension looks really great and I'm considering it for a use case. Thus, I have a few questions:

  • How production ready is it?
  • What is missing?
  • Is it open for contributions and/or still maintained?
  • Does it work with PHP 8?
  • Is it compatible with the JS API (meaning, on the same architecture, does it return the same results)?

If something is missing, I'd be happy to contribute! :)

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the extension's current status and its PHP 8 and JavaScript API compatibility, then document the answers and identify any missing work; done means the production-readiness, maintenance, contribution, and compatibility questions have clear project-backed answers.
