Nice extension.

IMHO it can be simpler to keep such extension in PECL, especially as
libsodium (the library) is quite active, and have recently introduce
some API changes (soname bump). I mean, if the extension API have to
change, it is easier to do this "outside" of PHP [1].

I only hate the extension name. libsodium is not a library (and
libsodium.so on linux is very confusing, for users, and for build system
)

I really prefer a non confusing name, like "sodium" (which also match
the used namespace).


Remi.


[1] this didn't means I'm against the idea to have it in core php-src.
