The README.md
Readme
Convert XML to an array representation, and then convert back to XML again., (*1)
Drop-in replacement for Lalit.org's XML2Array and Array2XML classes, based on their work., (*2)
- Configurable to use different special array keys for attributes/cdata/value
- Configurable to preserve tag and attribute namespaces
- Array to XML conversion automatically uses the root array element as the root XML node, if only one element exists at the top-level in the array
Usage Examples
Basic usage
$array = XML2Array::createArray($xml); $xml = Array2XML::createXML($array);
Note that there's no need to specify the 'rootNode' parameter from the previous implementation. If the array contains a single root item, that will automatically be used as the root node., (*3)
Drop-in replacement
Of course, if you need a drop-in replacement, the old syntax works as before., (*4)
$array = XML2Array::createArray($xml);
$xml = Array2XML::createXML('rootNode', $array);
Preserve namespaces
$config = array(
'useNamespaces' => true,
);
$array = XML2Array::createArray($xml, $config);
Use JSON-friendly special keys
$config = array(
'attributesKey' => '$attributes',
'cdataKey' => '$cdata',
'valueKey' => '$value',
);
$array = XML2Array::createArray($xml, $config);
$xml = Array2XML::createXML($array, $config);
