diversen/simple-query-selector

A very simple way to query simpleXML documents using CSS selectors

simple-query-selector

Very simple query-selector for e.g. XML and HTML documents. It uses symfony CssSelector in order to make jQuery-like queries on a DOM-tree. CssSelector rewrites xpath expressions to CSS-selectors, which for most web-developers are much easier to understand and work with. Css-selectors is also what e.g. jQuery uses, which then makes it familiar to almost any web-developer., _(*1)

The query-selector class just wraps the functionality of the CssSelector., _(*2)

Install

composer require diversen/simple-query-selector

Usage

See test.php and test.xml, _(*3)

Notice

CssSelector or XPath does not like case-diffrence in the XML it searches through. You will need some kind of normalisation if your XML has different cases, e.g. a tag like <CustomerTest></CustomerTest> will most likely cause problems. Normalize your XML-string with a function like this:, _(*4)

$xml = preg_replace_callback("/(<\/?[^!][^>]+)/", function ($matches) {
    return strtolower($matches[1]);
}, $xml);
