I'm trying to create a nice API that .NET developer would be happy using and would also instil confidence in the library by demonstrating good practice.
/*
Which one of the two `Get` method signatures should I go for? Or is there a better alternative?
The purpose of the `Get` method is to make a generic GET call to a REST API and hide away the authentication complexity. That's kind-of irrelevant here.
The 1st param in the call will always identify the resource
* Option 1: using `param KeyValuePair[]` so that multiple key value pairs can be passed to be convereted to name/value paris in a query string.
* Option 2: just uses an object created inline and can therefore have any keys/values it wants. But is it too magical?

cURL is the defacto standard for making HTTP requests using PHP. But there are alternatives. Here are a few.
<?php
function http_file_get_contents( $url ) {
$response = file_get_contents( $url );
return $response;
}
?>
