| Language | Client name | Github | Docs |
|---|---|---|---|
| C | hiredis | https://github.com/redis/hiredis | https://github.com/redis/hiredis |
| PHP | PhpRedis extension | https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis | https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis/blob/develop/README.md |
| Ruby | redis-rb | https://github.com/redis/redis-rb | https://rubydoc.info/gems/redis |
| Rust | redis-rs | https://github.com/redis-rs/redis-rs | https://docs.rs/redis/latest/redis/ |

Requirements
You will need access to a Redis server to use these libraries. You can experiment with a local installation of Redis Stack (see Install Redis Stack) or with a free trial of Redis Cloud. To interact with a Redis server without writing code, use the Redis CLI and Redis Insight tools.
