README
The PHP XML Reader where you show how to read the XML, and it does the rest for you.
How it works
The PHP XML Template Reader helps You to parse given XML file and create an object from it. The parser uses given template as a schema and tries to match it to input XML, optionally validating it with defined rules.
To start, simply create new \Donatorsky\XmlTemplate\Reader\XmlTemplateReader object, pass it the template and read using one of available reading modes.
Example 1
Assuming the following XML:
<books> <book ISBN="1234567890" category="adventures"> <title>Lorem ipsum adventures</title> ... </book> ... </books>
You can already see a pattern, so You can define the template as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <template xmlns:tpl="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" tpl:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="./vendor/donatorsky/php-xml-template-reader/xml-template-reader.xsd"> <books> <book tpl:type="collection" ISBN="required | integer" category=""> <title tpl:contents="raw" /> ... </book> ... </books> </template>
As the output You will see an object of type \Donatorsky\XmlTemplate\Reader\Models\Node (by default, can be changed) with processed data:
Node { private $nodeName = 'books'; private $children = Map [ // Because of tpl:type="collection", book element is expected to occur more than 1 times 'book' => Collection [ 0 => Node { private $nodeName = 'book'; private $attributes = Map [ // You can define set of parsing rules in the template. In this case: // required | integer // Means, that value cannot be empty and has to be a valid number. It is also converted to the integer. 'ISBN' => 1234567890, // No filters defined means the value is read "as is" 'category' => 'adventures', ]; // By default, tpl:type="single", so title is expected to occur at most 1 time private $relations = Map [ 'title' => Node { private $nodeName = 'title'; private $contents = 'Lorem ipsum adventures'; }, ... ]; }, 1 => ... ] ]; }
Please note, that only nodes defined in the template are present in the output Node. When XML changes, You need to update the template.
Example 2
The Reader supports namespaced nodes and attributes. In case suggested template's tpl namespace conflicts with Yours, feel free to change it to any other XML valid value:
<tpl:books xmlns:tpl="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <tpl:book tpl:ISBN="1234567890" tpl:category="adventures"> <tpl:title>Lorem ipsum adventures</tpl:title> ... </tpl:book> ... </tpl:books>
You can already see a pattern, so You can define the template as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <template xmlns:my-namespace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" my-namespace:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="./vendor/donatorsky/php-xml-template-reader/xml-template-reader.xsd"> <tpl:books> <tpl:book my-namespace:type="collection" tpl:ISBN="required | integer" tpl:category=""> <tpl:title my-namespace:contents="raw" /> ... </tpl:book> ... </tpl:books> </template>
Reading modes
Multiple reading modes are available. Given the following example code:
$xmlTemplateReader = new \Donatorsky\XmlTemplate\Reader\XmlTemplateReader(<<<'XML' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <template xmlns:tpl="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" tpl:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="./vendor/donatorsky/php-xml-template-reader/xml-template-reader.xsd"> // ... </template> XML );
read: read XML from string
You can provide XML contents and parse it using read method:
$node = $xmlTemplateReader->read(<<<'XML' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> // ... XML );
readFile: read XML from file in given path
You can provide a path to the XML file and parse it using readFile method:
$node = $xmlTemplateReader->readFile('/path/to/file.xml');
readStream: read XML from already opened resource
You can provide a resource with the XML contents and parse it using readStream method:
$handler = fopen('/path/to/file.xml', 'rb+'); $node = $xmlTemplateReader->readStream($handler);
open, update and close: custom stream XML reading
You can read the XML chunk by chunk using You own implementation with open, update and close methods:
$handler = fopen('/path/to/file.xml', 'rb+'); $xmlTemplateReader->open(); while (!\feof($handler)) { $this->update(\fread($handler, 1024)); } $node = $xmlTemplateReader->close();
Parsing modifiers
You can use various parsing modifiers to define some behaviours. Examples below use tpl namespace.
tpl:castTo
Accepted values: class' FQN, must implement \Donatorsky\XmlTemplate\Reader\Models\Contracts\NodeInterface.
By default, when node is parsed, it creates new \Donatorsky\XmlTemplate\Reader\Models\Node instance with parsed data. However, You can use Your own class. This class must implement \Donatorsky\XmlTemplate\Reader\Models\Contracts\NodeInterface interface.
Example
Define node classes:
namespace Some\Name\Space; class BooksNode implements \Donatorsky\XmlTemplate\Reader\Models\Contracts\NodeInterface { // ... } // You can also extend \Donatorsky\XmlTemplate\Reader\Models\Node class class SingleBookNode extends \Donatorsky\XmlTemplate\Reader\Models\Node { // ... public function getIsbn(): int { return $this->attributes->get('ISBN'); } public function getCategory(): int { return $this->attributes->get('category'); } }
Use them in the template:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <template xmlns:tpl="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" tpl:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="./vendor/donatorsky/php-xml-template-reader/xml-template-reader.xsd"> <books tpl:castTo="\Some\Name\Space\BooksNode"> <book tpl:type="collection" tpl:castTo="\Some\Name\Space\SingleBookNode" ISBN="required | integer" category=""> <title tpl:contents="raw" /> ... </book> ... </books> </template>
The output:
$booksNode = Some\Name\Space\BooksNode { private $nodeName = 'books'; private $children = \Donatorsky\XmlTemplate\Reader\Models\Map [ // Because of tpl:type="collection", book element is expected to occur more than 1 times 'book' => \Donatorsky\XmlTemplate\Reader\Models\Collection [ 0 => Some\Name\Space\SingleBookNode { private $nodeName = 'book'; private $attributes = \Donatorsky\XmlTemplate\Reader\Models\Map [ // You can define set of parsing rules in the template. In this case: // required | integer // Means, that value cannot be empty and has to be a valid number. It is also converted to the integer. 'ISBN' => 1234567890, // No filters defined means the value is read "as is" 'category' => 'adventures', ]; // By default, tpl:type="single", so title is expected to occur at most 1 time private $relations = \Donatorsky\XmlTemplate\Reader\Models\Map [ 'title' => \Donatorsky\XmlTemplate\Reader\Models\Node { private $nodeName = 'title'; private $contents = 'Lorem ipsum adventures'; }, ... ]; }, 1 => ... ] ]; } // ... /** * @var \Some\Name\Space\SingleBookNode $book */ foreach ($booksNode->getChildren('book') as $book){ var_dump($book->getIsbn(), $book->getCategory()); }
tpl:collectAttributes
Accepted values: all, validated (default).
By default, only validated nodes' attributes are collected. This means, that only attributes that are defined in the template are collected. However, You can change it if You also want to collect other attributes.
Given the input XML:
<books ISBN="1234567890" category="adventures"> ... </books>
Example 1
With the following template:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <template xmlns:tpl="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" tpl:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="./vendor/donatorsky/php-xml-template-reader/xml-template-reader.xsd"> <books tpl:collectAttributes="all" ISBN=""> ... </books> </template>
You will get:
Node { private $nodeName = 'books'; private $attributes = Map [ 'ISBN' => '1234567890', 'category' => 'adventures', ]; }
Example 2
With the following template:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <template xmlns:tpl="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" tpl:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="./vendor/donatorsky/php-xml-template-reader/xml-template-reader.xsd"> <books tpl:collectAttributes="validated" ISBN=""> ... </books> </template>
You will get:
Node { private $nodeName = 'books'; private $attributes = \Donatorsky\XmlTemplate\Reader\Models\Map [ 'ISBN' => '1234567890', // 'category' is missing as it is not "validated" ]; }
tpl:contents
Accepted values: none (default when tpl:type = collection), raw (default when tpl:type = single), trimmed.
By default, no node's contents is collected (none). This is especially useful for nodes containing other nodes, thus the contents is only a bunch of whitespaces (when XML if pretty-printed). You can change this behaviour and collect raw, unchanged contents (raw) of the node or additionally trim whitespaces (trimmed).
Example
Given the input XML:
<book> <title>...</title> <description> ... ... </description> <authors> // ... </authors> </book>
With the following template:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <template xmlns:tpl="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" tpl:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="./vendor/donatorsky/php-xml-template-reader/xml-template-reader.xsd"> <book> <title tpl:contents="raw" /> <description tpl:contents="trimmed" /> <authors tpl:contents="none" /> </book> </template>
You will get:
Node { private $nodeName = 'books'; private $relations = Map [ 'title' => Node { private $nodeName = 'title'; private $contents = '...'; }, 'description' => Node { private $nodeName = 'title'; private $contents = '... ...'; }, 'authors' => Node { private $nodeName = 'title'; private $contents = null; }, ]; }
tpl:type
Accepted values: single (default), collection.
By default, each node defined in the template is considered to be a single (single). However, if You expect multiple elements of the same type, You can change it (collection).
Example
Given the input XML:
<book> <title>...</title> <authors> <author>...</author> <author>...</author> <author>...</author> </authors> </book>
With the following template:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <template xmlns:tpl="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" tpl:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="./vendor/donatorsky/php-xml-template-reader/xml-template-reader.xsd"> <book> <title tpl:type="single" /> <authors> <author tpl:type="collection"> // ... </author> </authors> </book> </template>
You will get:
Node { private $nodeName = 'books'; private $relations = Map [ 'title' => Node { private $nodeName = 'title'; } ]; private $children = Map [ 'author' => Collection [ 0 => Node { private $nodeName = 'author'; }, 1 => Node { private $nodeName = 'author'; }, 2 => Node { private $nodeName = 'author'; }, ] ]; }
Rules
Rules are simple validators and transformers that can be chained. You can use rules to define attributes constraints and transform them to expected value. Rules may be aliased. Rules can accept additional attributes. Names and aliases are case-insensitive. You can examine built-in rules in src/Rules directory, or You can create one by implementing \Donatorsky\XmlTemplate\Reader\Rules\Contracts\RuleInterface interface.
Built-in rules
| Rule name | Aliases | Validation | Transformation |
|---|---|---|---|
| callback | Custom validation rule | Custom transformation | |
| float | Numeric value | Cast to float type | |
| greaterThan:threshold | Numeric value greater than threshold | Value unchanged | |
| int | integer | Numeric value | Cast to int type |
| numeric | Numeric value | Cast to int or float type | |
| required | Value must not be empty | Value unchanged | |
| trim | String value | Value is trimmed |
Custom rules
To define custom rule You need to first create a class that implements RuleInterface:
namespace Some\Name\Space; class RegexpRule implements \Donatorsky\XmlTemplate\Reader\Rules\Contracts\RuleInterface { private string $pattern; public function __construct(string $pattern) { $this->pattern = $pattern; } public function passes($value) : bool { // Validate $value against pattern return (bool) preg_match($this->pattern, $value); } public function process($value) { // Do not modify value return $value; } }
Then, You need to register rule class:
$xmlTemplateReader->registerRuleFilter( 'regexp', // name \Some\Name\Space\RegexpRule::class, // Rule class' FQN [ 'matches', ] // optionalAliases );
And use it in the template:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <template xmlns:tpl="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" tpl:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="./vendor/donatorsky/php-xml-template-reader/xml-template-reader.xsd"> <book ISBN="regexp:/^\d{13}$/" category="matches:/^\w+$/i"> // ... </book> </template>
