README

QuipXml is chainable PHP objects for manipulating XML modeled after jQuery.

Although this is being developed with unit tests, this is still alpha. Method names may be subject to change.

Basic Usage

// The 'load' factory method aligns with SimpleXml constructor arguments.
$quip = Quip::load($xml_path, 0, TRUE);
$quip = Quip::load($xml_string);

// jQuery method names are used where appropriate.
$html = $quip->html();

// jQuery method names are adjusted when there is a keyword conflict.
$quip->xparent();
    
// While jQuery syntax is wonderful, you also get PHP advantages:
//  1. xpath
//  2. access children like properties
//  3. use foreach loops
$ul = $quip->xpath("//ul")->eq(0);
$ul->li->after('<li>New bullet.</li>');
foreach ($quip->xpath("//li")->eq(1) as $li) {
}

// For advanced operations, just like in jQuery, you can access the DOMNode for a given XML node.
$el = $ul->dom();

HHVM Limitations for SimpleXML

Effective 2014-03-24 (confirmed on travis-ci), you cannot use the magic self-reference on SimpleXml elements. This code will not work:

$sxml = simplexml_load_file('example.xml');
$sxml->original[0] = $expected;

Update: This was corrected on HHVM 3 (confirmed on travis-ci on 2014-05-30).
