XML utilities, mainly conversion between XML <=> array.

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require graze/xml-utils

Usage

Converting an array to XML

$array = [
    'child1' => 111,
    'child2' => 222
];

$xmlElement = new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>');

$xmlConverter = new Graze\XmlUtils\XmlConverter();
$xmlConverter->addArrayAsChildren($array, $xmlElement);

echo $xmlElement->asXml();

result:

?xml version="1.0"?>
<root><child1>111</child1><child2>222</child2></root>

Attributes

Attributes are supported by using @attributes key with an array of attribute name => value.

$array = [
    'child1' => [
        '@attributes' => [
            'id' => 123
        ]
    ]
];

result:

<child1 id="123"/>

Attributes with value

If a value needs to be set for an element with an attribute then the @value key should be used.

$array = [
    'child1' => [
        '@attributes' => [
            'id' => 123
        ],
        '@value' => 'some description'
    ]
];

result:

<child1 id="123">some description</child1>

Repeated elements

Repeated elements are supported with indexed arrays.

$array = [
    'child' => [
        'first',
        'second'
    ]
];

result:

<child>first</child><child>second</child>

Converting XML to an array

$xml = '<root><child1>123</child1><child2 id="1"><subchild1>456</subchild1></child2></root>';

$xmlElement = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);

$xmlConverter = new XmlConverter();
$array = $xmlConverter->convertToArray($xmlElement);

result:

[
    'child1' => '123',
    'child2' => [
        '@attributes' => [
            'id' => '1'
        ],
        'subchild1' => '456'
    ]
];

Formatting XML

Formats XML so it is easier to read.

$unformattedXml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><root><child1>123</child1><child2 attribute="1"><subchild1>456</subchild1></child2></root>';

$xmlFormatter = new XmlFormatter();
$formattedXml = $xmlFormatter->format($unformattedXml);

result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <child1>123</child1>
  <child2 attribute="1">
    <subchild1>456</subchild1>
  </child2>
</root>
