README

Configuration driver for CommonPHP that encodes and decodes the CommonPHP XML configuration format.

Requirements

• PHP ^8.5
• PHP DOM extension ext-dom
• comphp/config:^0.3

Installation

Once this package is available through your Composer repositories, install it with:

composer require comphp/config-xml

Usage

<?php

use CommonPHP\Drivers\Config\XML\XmlConfigurationDriver;

$driver = new XmlConfigurationDriver();

$config = [
    'app' => 'demo',
    'debug' => true,
    'database' => [
        'host' => 'localhost',
    ],
];

$xml = $driver->encode($config);
$decoded = $driver->decode($xml);

$driver->write(__DIR__ . '/config.xml', $config);
$fromFile = $driver->read(__DIR__ . '/config.xml');

Format Notes

This package uses the CommonPHP XML config format with a <config> root and typed <entry> elements. It is not an arbitrary XML-to-array converter. DOCTYPE declarations are rejected.

Error Handling

Read, write, parse, validation, and unsupported value failures throw CommonPHP config exceptions such as ConfigReadException, ConfigWriteException, ConfigValidationException, or ConfigException.
