README

ManiaLib\XML is an object-oriented PHP library for writing XML.

Installation

Install via Composer:

{
	"require": {
        "maniaplanet/manialib-xml": "0.2.*@dev"
    }
}

Features

• Simple and flexible object-oriented architecture
• Configurable rendering drivers
• Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher integration

Architecture

• You construct a tree of ManiaLib\XML\Node.
• Setter methods return the element for chaining (eg. $node->setNodeName('foo')->setNodeValue('bar');.
• ManiaLib\XML\Node::create() instanciates the object and returns it for easy chaining (eg. Node::create()->setNodeName('foo');).
• If you're running PHP 5.4+ you can use class member access on instantiation instead eg. (new Node)->setNodeName('foo');.
• See ManiaLib\XML\NodeInterface for reference.
• You then pass the root Node to an instance of ManiaLib\XML\Rendering\Renderer.

Examples

<?php

use ManiaLib\XML\Node;
use ManiaLib\XML\Rendering\Renderer;

require_once '../vendor/autoload.php';

// Let's build a Node tree. Here is the root element.
$root = Node::create()
	->setNodeName('rootElement')
	->setAttribute('rootAttrivute', '1.0');

// This is one way to append child, ie. "append this element to its parent"
Node::create()
	->setNodeName('someElement')
	->setAttribute('someAttribute', 'foo')
	->setAttribute('otherAttribute', 'bar')
	->setNodeValue('Hello world')
	->appendTo($root);

// This is another way, ie. "appends a child to this element"
$node = Node::create()->setNodeName('anotherOne');
$root->appendChild($node);

// Let's render the tree
$renderer = new Renderer();
$renderer->setRoot($root);
echo $renderer->getXML();

It will output:

<rootElement rootAttrivute="1.0">
    <someElement someAttribute="foo" otherAttribute="bar">
        Hello world
    </someElement>
    <anotherOne/>
</rootElement>

Tests

A simple suite tests .php files in the /examples directory against their associated .xml renders. To run the tests we recommand:

• PHPUnit system-wide installation via Composer
• Run composer install
• Run phpunit

Todo

• XMLComment
• PhpDoc
• Raw node value
• Other unsupported Node features?
