Available Utilities

Fetch and interact with web page content.

Exception Handling

All package exceptions extend Myerscode\Utilities\Web\Exceptions\WebUtilityException, which extends RuntimeException. This allows catching all package exceptions in one go:

use Myerscode\Utilities\Web\Exceptions\WebUtilityException;

try {
    $content = $web->content()->content();
} catch (WebUtilityException $e) {
    // Handle any package exception
}
