XMLProcessor

Fast handling of xml data.

Installation

This library is made for the use with Composer. Add it to your project by running $ composer require bitandblack/xmlprocessor.

Usage

The Bit&Black XML Processor is incredibly fast in parsing huge xml data. This is because it doesn't make use of foreach to handle XML nodes. Instead the processor uses a while loop and a copy of the DOMElements.

Set up the processor with your xml data:

<?php

use DOMDocument;
use BitAndBlack\XML\XMLProcessor;

$domDocument = new DOMDocument();
$domDocument->load('your_huge_file.xml');

$processor = new XMLProcessor($domDocument);

Use eachElement() now instead of foreach:

<?php

$processor->eachElement(
    static function($dom) {
        return $dom->getElementsByTagName('some_node');
    },
    static function($node, $key) {
        var_dump('Found at position '.$key.' node with id '.$node->getAttribute('id'));
    }
);

The first attribute is a function where you can set up the statement with whom you can select the nodes you want to.

The second attribute is a callback function which is called for every processed item.

eachElement() makes a clone of the DOM to reach a fast processing so modifying the original DOM at the same time will not target the processed data.
