Mapping one to one the library APIs may sound nice but it is actually not a good thing in this case in my humble opinion. Many functions do not make sense to expose directly or not using the same methods. That being said, I like libsodium, used it in a couple of projects (not php related) :) Cheers, -- Pierre @pierrejoye | http://www.libgd.org
