README

Are you working with xml data? then this package is for you. This is the simplest API to interact with XML data.

Installation

type in console:

composer require edujugon/xml-mapper

Laravel 5.*

Laravel 5.5 or higher?

Then you don't have to either register or add the alias, this package uses Package Auto-Discovery's feature, and should be available as soon as you install it via Composer.

(Laravel < 5.5) Register the XMLMapper service by adding it to the providers array.

'providers' => array(
    ...
    Edujugon\XMLMapper\Providers\XMLMapperServiceProvider::class
)

(Laravel < 5.5) Let's add the Alias facade, add it to the aliases array.

'aliases' => array(
    ...
    'XMLMapper' => Edujugon\XMLMapper\Facades\XMLMapper::class,
)

Usage samples

$mapper = new Edujugon\XMLMapper\XMLMapper();
$mapper->loadXML($xmlData);

or

$mapper = new Edujugon\XMLMapper\XMLMapper($xmlData);

or with Laravel Facade

$mapper = XMLMapper::loadXML($xmlData);

Don't forget to use the facade use statement at the top of your class: use Edujugon\XMLMapper\Facades\XMLMapper;

Get value

You must know the tags path. Otherwise you should use findValue.

$value = $mapper->getvalue(['first-tag','second-tag','my-tag']);

The above example takes the value of the tag with name my-tag.

If no parameter passed to the method it looks up the value of the first (parent) tag.

Get attribute

You must know the tags path. Otherwise you should use findAttribute.

$att = $mapper->getAttribute('id',['first-tag','second-tag','my-tag']);

The above example returns the value of the id attribute in my-tag.

Get element

Get a new instance of XMLMapper but with the tag-name element as base xml.

$newXmlMapper = $mapper->getElement('tag-name');

Get elements

Get an array of XMLMapper objects based on the tag-name xml element.

$arrayOFXmlMappers = $mapper->getElement('tag-name');

Find value

$value = $mapper->findValue('my-tag');

It looks for the first tag called my-tag and returns its value.

Find attribute

Get the attribute value of a tag.

$att = $mapper->findAttribute('my-att','my-tag');

It looks for the first tag called my-tag, then try to find my-att as attribute and returns its value.

If no tag passed, it takes the first attribute matching the provided attribute name:

$att = $mapper->findAttribute('my-att');

Find attribute by condition

Loop through all elements trying to match the condition/s. When found, returns the value of the provided attribute.

$att = $mapper->findAttributeWhere('my-att',['id'=>1,'dev'=> 'edu',['name','!=','john']])

Check allowed where operators

Find attributes of a tag

Get an object with those attributes as object properties. First it searches the tag and then retrieves the requested attributes.

$obj = $mapper->findAttributes(['att-1','att-2'],'my-tag')

$name = $obj->name;
$dev = $obj->dev;

If no tag provided, it takes the first tag that has those attributes and return the values.

Find attributes by condition

Loop through all elements trying to match the condition/s. When found, returns an object with those attributes as object properties.

$obj = $mapper->findAttributesWhere(['att-1','att-2'],['dev'=> 'edu',['name','!=','john']])

Check allowed where operators

Find all attributes of a tag

Get an array of objects with the tag attributes as properties

$list = $mapper->findAllAttributesOf('tag-name');

Find all attributes of a tag by condition

Get an array of objects with attributes as properties matching the provided tag name and condition.

$list = $mapper->findAllAttributesOfWhere('tag-name',['dev'=> 'edu',['name','!=','john']])

Check allowed where operators

Where operators

Allowed where syntax.

Default:

• key => value pair. Will be treated as ==

 ['id' => 1,'name' => 'my name']

Custom:

• !=
• !==
• ===
• contains
• containsCaseInsensitive

[['name','!=','john'],['id','!=',7]]
[['name','contains','john']]

They can be combined

['id' => 1,['name','!=','john']]

Replace tag names

You can easily replace any tag name of the xml for an easier access.

$mapper->replaceTagName(
    [
        'a10:author' => 'author',
        'a10:name' => 'name',
        'a10:updated' => 'updated'
    ]
);

The above snippet replaces all tags with names matching the keys and sets their values as new tag names. Also updates the underlying object based on the new xml.

Merge a new xml into the existing one

You can easily merge a new xml into the existing one. It sets it as child of the provided tag.

$mapper->mergeXML($newXml, 'desiredParentTag');

Wrap the current xml with a custom tag

$mapper->wrapWith('tagName');

Add attributes

$mapper-addAttributes(['attr1' => 'value1', 'attr2' => 'value2']);
or
$mapper-addAttributes(['attr1' => 'value1', 'attr2' => 'value2'], 'tagName');

Enjoy :)
