README
XML without worries
This package aims to provide all tools for dealing with XML in PHP without worries. You will find a type-safe, declarative API that deals with errors for you!
Installation
composer require veewee/xml
Components
- DOM: Operate on XML documents through the DOM API.
- Encoding: Provides
xml_encode()andxml_decode()so that you can deal with XML just like you deal with JSON! - ErrorHandling: Provides the tools you need to safely deal with XML.
- Reader: Memory-safe XML reader.
- Writer: Memory-safe XML writer.
- XSD: Tools for working with XSD schemas.
- XSLT: Transform XML documents into something else.
Spec compliance
Starting from v4, this package opt's-in to the spec compliance mode that has been released in PHP 8.4. Since these changes cannot be ported to older PHP versions, v3 of this package will be maintained actively for a longer period. This will give you a grace period to upgrade your PHP versions, packages, ... This little bump in the road is necessary to provide you with a better, more stable and spec-compliant package in the future.
