An experimental compiler for PHPX

PHPX Compile compiles PHPX into more optimized PHP significantly reducing function calls when rendering PHPX files. With the example used in tests we see about a 6x speed improvement over plain PHPX

Compiled PHPX files are still plain PHP and can be swapped out for existing templates.

Warning

This project is experimental and has not been proven. Expect PHPX Compile to not always produce working output.

<?php

$x = new Buttress\Phpx\Phpx();
$github = 'https://github.com/buttress/phpx';

return $x->render(
    $x->div(class: 'content', c: [
        $x->h1(id: 'title', c: 'Hello World!'),
        $x->p(c: [
            'Brought to you by ',
            $x->a(href: $github, c: 'PHPX')
        ]),
    ])
);

becomes

<?php
$x = new Buttress\Phpx\Phpx();
$github = 'https://github.com/buttress/phpx';
return '<div class="content"><h1 id="title">Hello World!</h1>'.'<p>Brought to you by '.'<a href="'.htmlspecialchars($github, 50).'">PHPX</a>'.'</p>'.'</div>';

Installation
