- PHP XML Builder Library
Installation
composer require aaronddm/xml-builder
Prerequisites
- PHP >=7.2.0
- php-xml if using XMLWriter
Basic Usage
The following is an example of the most basic usage of this library.
Example: Using XMLWriter
<?php require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\XMLBuilder; use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\Writer\XMLWriterService; use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\Exception\XMLArrayException; $xmlWriterService = new XMLWriterService(); $xmlBuilder = new XMLBuilder($xmlWriterService); try { $xmlBuilder ->createXMLArray() ->start('Root') ->addCData('1 First Child First Element', 'This is a test') ->add('First Child Second Element', false) ->start('Second Parent') ->add('Second child 1', null, ['myAttr' => 'Attr Value']) ->add('Second child 2', false) ->start('Third Parent') ->add('Child') ->end() ->end() ->add('First Child Third Element') ->end(); var_dump($xmlBuilder->getXML()); } catch (XMLArrayException $e) { var_dump('An exception occurred: ' . $e->getMessage()); }
Output
string(414) "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Root>
<FirstChildFirstElement><![CDATA[This is a test]]></FirstChildFirstElement>
<FirstChildSecondElement>False</FirstChildSecondElement>
<SecondParent>
<Secondchild myAttr="Attr Value"/>
<Secondchild>False</Secondchild>
<ThirdParent>
<Child/>
</ThirdParent>
</SecondParent>
<FirstChildThirdElement/>
</Root>

Example: Custom XMLWriter instance
<?php require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\XMLBuilder; use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\Writer\XMLWriterService; $xmlWriter = new \XMLWriter(); $xmlWriter->openMemory(); $xmlWriter->setIndent(true); $xmlWriter->setIndentString(' '); $xmlWriter->startDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8'); $xmlWriter->writeDtd('html', '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN', 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd'); $xmlWriterService = new XMLWriterService($xmlWriter); $xmlBuilder = new XMLBuilder($xmlWriterService); try { $xmlBuilder ->createXMLArray() ->start('Root') ->addCData('1 First Child First Element', 'This is a test') ->add('First Child Second Element', false) ->start('Second Parent') ->add('Second child 1', null, ['myAttr' => 'Attr Value']) ->add('Second child 2', false) ->start('Third Parent') ->add('Child') ->end() ->end() ->add('First Child Third Element') ->end(); var_dump($xmlBuilder->getXML()); } catch (XMLArrayException $e) { var_dump('An exception occurred: ' . $e->getMessage()); }
Output
string(414) "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<Root>
<FirstChildFirstElement><![CDATA[This is a test]]></FirstChildFirstElement>
<FirstChildSecondElement>False</FirstChildSecondElement>
<SecondParent>
<Secondchild myAttr="Attr Value"/>
<Secondchild>False</Secondchild>
<ThirdParent>
<Child/>
</ThirdParent>
</SecondParent>
<FirstChildThirdElement/>
</Root>

Looping through data
You easily added sets of data using the startLoop
method provided.
Example: XML output of a list of users
<?php require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\XMLArray; use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\XMLBuilder; use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\Writer\XMLWriterService; $users = [ [ 'name' => 'John Doe', 'age' => 32 ], [ 'name' => 'Jane Doe', 'age' => 98 ] ]; $xmlWriterService = new XMLWriterService(); $xmlBuilder = new XMLBuilder($xmlWriterService); $xmlBuilder ->createXMLArray() ->start('Root') ->startLoop('Users', [], function (XMLArray $XMLArray) use ($users) { foreach ($users as $user) { $XMLArray->start('User') ->add('name', $user['name']) ->add('age', $user['age']); } }) ->end() ->end(); var_dump($xmlBuilder->getXML());
Output
string(261) "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Root>
<Users>
<User>
<name>John Doe</name>
<age>32</age>
</User>
<User>
<name>Jane Doe</name>
<age>98</age>
</User>
</Users>
</Root>
"
Looping without a parent
You easily loop through a list of of data using the loop
method provided, without having a parent
element for the looped data.
Example: XML output of a list of users
<?php require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\XMLArray; use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\XMLBuilder; use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\Writer\XMLWriterService; $users = [ [ 'name' => 'John Doe', 'age' => 32 ], [ 'name' => 'Jane Doe', 'age' => 98 ] ]; $xmlWriterService = new XMLWriterService(); $xmlBuilder = new XMLBuilder($xmlWriterService); $xmlBuilder ->createXMLArray() ->start('Root') ->loop(function (XMLArray $XMLArray) use ($users) { foreach ($users as $user) { $XMLArray->start('User') ->add('name', $user['name']) ->add('age', $user['age']); } }) ->end(); var_dump($xmlBuilder->getXML()); ?>
Output
<Root>
<User>
<name>John Doe</name>
<age>32</age>
</User>
<User>
<name>Jane Doe</name>
<age>98</age>
</User>
</Root>
Using a custom "XMLElementData" class
You can override the XMLElementData element class to implement transformations to the value of your data based on the type passed. To do this, you simply extend the XMLElementData class and override any of the methods to your liking.
Example: Customized MyXMLElementData class
<?php require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\XMLElementData; use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\XMLBuilder; use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\Writer\XMLWriterService; use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\Exception\XMLArrayException; /** * Class MyXMLElementData */ class MyXMLElementData extends XMLElementData { /** * @return mixed */ public function getValue() { $type = $this->getType(); $value = $this->value; if(is_bool($value)) { $type = 'boolean'; } switch($type) { case 'specialType': $value = 'Special Type Value'; break; case 'boolean': $value = ($value) ? 'True' : 'False'; break; } return $value; } } $xmlWriterService = new XMLWriterService(); $xmlBuilder = new XMLBuilder($xmlWriterService); $xmlBuilder->setElementDataClass(MyXMLElementData::class); try { $xmlBuilder ->createXMLArray() ->start('Root') ->addCData('1 First Child First Element', 'This is a test') ->add('First Child Second Element', false) ->start('Second Parent') ->add('Second child 1', null, ['myAttr' => 'Attr Value']) ->add('Second child 2', false) ->start('Third Parent') ->add('Child') ->add('Special Type Child', "1", [], 'specialType') ->end() ->end() ->add('First Child Third Element') ->end(); var_dump($xmlBuilder->getXML()); } catch (XMLArrayException $e) { var_dump('An exception occurred: ' . $e->getMessage()); }
Output
string(482) "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Root>
<FirstChildFirstElement><![CDATA[This is a test]]></FirstChildFirstElement>
<FirstChildSecondElement>False</FirstChildSecondElement>
<SecondParent>
<Secondchild myAttr="Attr Value"/>
<Secondchild>False</Secondchild>
<ThirdParent>
<Child/>
<SpecialTypeChild>Special Type Value</SpecialTypeChild>
</ThirdParent>
</SecondParent>
<FirstChildThirdElement/>
</Root>
