README

Bootstrapping a new Drupal environment for CI workflows is somewhat in flux right now. Drush no longer supports downloading projects, instead recommending a composer-based workflow. Drupal core does not have reusable code for interacting with updates.drupal.org's API as it's all coupled to update.module.

I wanted something to let me quickly download any release from drupal.org, as well as a real-world opportunity to learn what the state of XML deserializers in PHP was. If Drupal doesn't go to a full-composer workflow, perhaps this library will be useful to modernize the Update module.

Features

• PHARs available on the releases page
• A strongly-typed set of classes representing Projects, Releases, and Files.
• Serialization and deserialization of Projects from XML retreived from drupal.org.
• An example of using the JMS Serializer library.
  • This originally used Symfony's Serializer component, but it lacks support for XML namespaces and generally seems to better support JSON.
• A console command to download and extract projects.
