Edexml library

PHP Library for validating and importing Edexml files., _(*1)

Installation

Install with composer:, _(*2)

$ composer require harmbandstra/edexmllib, _(*3)

Usage

    $xml = file_get_contents('path_to_file');
    try {
        $edex = EdexmlFactory::load($xml);
    } catch (ValidationException $exception) {
        // Handle exception
    }

    foreach ($edex->getGroepen()->getGroep() as $groep) {
        echo $groep->getNaam();
    }

    foreach ($edex->getLeerlingen() as $leerling) {
        echo $leerling->getGebruikersnaam();
    }

If the Edexml file contains elements with a type defined in a non-public XSD, you can strip the block before loading the XML., _(*4)

    $xml = file_get_contents('path_to_file');
    try {
        $edex = EdexmlFactory::load(
            EdexmlFactory::stripToevoegingen($xml)
        );
    } catch (ValidationException $exception) {
        // Handle exception
    }

To skip validation, set strict to false, _(*5)

    $xml = file_get_contents('path_to_file');
    $edex = EdexmlFactory::load($xml, false);

Development

The library uses xsd2php for creating JMS Serializer definition files. These files are used to deserialize the XML into bite-sized PHP objects., _(*6)

Generate classes

To generate new classed and JMS Serializer configuration based on the XSD files, run:, _(*7)

php vendor/bin/xsd2php convert config.yml src/Resources/xsd/*.xsd, _(*8)

This is only needed when the specification changes., _(*9)
