Usage

Request options

Following example creates POST request with XML body. Option xml accepts an array that is converted to XML document. About array format and how converting works you can read in detail Symfony XmlEncoder.

<?php
use GuzzleHttp\HandlerStack;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use GuzzleXml\XmlMiddleware;

$stack = HandlerStack::create();
$stack->push(XmlMiddleware::xml(), 'xml');
$client = new Client(['handler' => $stack]);
$response = $client->post('https://example.com', [
  'xml' => [
    'package' => [
        '@language' => 'PHP',
        'name'      => 'Guzzle XML',
        'author'    => [
          '@role' => 'developer',
          '#'     => 'Tarkhov',
        ],
        'support'   => [
            'issues' => 'https://github.com/tarkhov/guzzle-xml/issues',
            'source' => 'https://github.com/tarkhov/guzzle-xml',
        ],
    ],
  ],
]);

As a result, an xml request will be sent with the header Content-type: text/xml and data with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<package language="PHP">
   <name>Guzzle XML</name>
   <author role="developer">Tarkhov</author>
   <support>
      <issues>https://github.com/tarkhov/guzzle-xml/issues</issues>
      <source>https://github.com/tarkhov/guzzle-xml</source>
   </support>
</package>

Response

Automatically convert your JSON response to XML using middleware.

<?php
use GuzzleHttp\HandlerStack;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use GuzzleXml\XmlMiddleware;

$stack = HandlerStack::create();
$stack->push(XmlMiddleware::jsonToXml());
$client = new Client(['handler' => $stack]);
$response = $client->post('https://example.com');
$xml = $response->getBody();
echo $xml;

If your json response is:

{
   "package": {
      "@language":"PHP",
      "name":"Guzzle XML",
      "author": {
         "@role":"developer",
         "#":"Tarkhov"
      },
      "support": {
         "issues":"https:\/\/github.com\/tarkhov\/guzzle-xml\/issues",
         "source":"https:\/\/github.com\/tarkhov\/guzzle-xml"
      }
   }
}

This will automatically convert to XML like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<package language="PHP">
   <name>Guzzle XML</name>
   <author role="developer">Tarkhov</author>
   <support>
      <issues>https://github.com/tarkhov/guzzle-xml/issues</issues>
      <source>https://github.com/tarkhov/guzzle-xml</source>
   </support>
</package>
