other existing APIs and libraries.</p>

<p>This is a much more advanced topic, and most people should not need to work this

low level. But it is provided for those rare instances where you need some custom
|
||
|
connection logic.</p>
|
||
|
<p>A provider must only implement the method <strong>perform(method, params)</strong>. All data passed
|
||
|
into a provider is sanitized by the BaseProvider subclass, and all results are normalized
|
||
|
before returning them to the user.</p>
|
||
|
<p>For this example, we will build a DebugProvider, which will simple proxy all commands
|
||
|
through another Provider, but dump all data going back and forth.</p>
