Installation

composer require aaronddm/xml-builder

Prerequisites

  • PHP >=7.2.0
  • php-xml if using XMLWriter

Basic Usage

The following is an example of the most basic usage of this library.

Example: Using XMLWriter

<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\XMLBuilder;
use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\Writer\XMLWriterService;
use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\Exception\XMLArrayException;

$xmlWriterService = new XMLWriterService();
$xmlBuilder = new XMLBuilder($xmlWriterService);

try {
    $xmlBuilder
        ->createXMLArray()
            ->start('Root')
                ->addCData('1 First Child First Element', 'This is a test')
                ->add('First Child Second Element', false)
                ->start('Second Parent')
                    ->add('Second child 1', null, ['myAttr' => 'Attr Value'])
                    ->add('Second child 2', false)
                    ->start('Third Parent')
                        ->add('Child')
                    ->end()
                ->end()
                ->add('First Child Third Element')
            ->end();

    var_dump($xmlBuilder->getXML());
} catch (XMLArrayException $e) {
    var_dump('An exception occurred: ' . $e->getMessage());
}

Output

string(414) "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Root>
    <FirstChildFirstElement><![CDATA[This is a test]]></FirstChildFirstElement>
    <FirstChildSecondElement>False</FirstChildSecondElement>
    <SecondParent>
        <Secondchild myAttr="Attr Value"/>
        <Secondchild>False</Secondchild>
        <ThirdParent>
            <Child/>
        </ThirdParent>
    </SecondParent>
    <FirstChildThirdElement/>
</Root>
"

Example: Custom XMLWriter instance

<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\XMLBuilder;
use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\Writer\XMLWriterService;

$xmlWriter = new \XMLWriter();
$xmlWriter->openMemory();
$xmlWriter->setIndent(true);
$xmlWriter->setIndentString('    ');
$xmlWriter->startDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
$xmlWriter->writeDtd('html', '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN', 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd');

$xmlWriterService = new XMLWriterService($xmlWriter);
$xmlBuilder = new XMLBuilder($xmlWriterService);

try {
    $xmlBuilder
        ->createXMLArray()
            ->start('Root')
                ->addCData('1 First Child First Element', 'This is a test')
                ->add('First Child Second Element', false)
                ->start('Second Parent')
                    ->add('Second child 1', null, ['myAttr' => 'Attr Value'])
                    ->add('Second child 2', false)
                    ->start('Third Parent')
                        ->add('Child')
                    ->end()
                ->end()
                ->add('First Child Third Element')
            ->end();

    var_dump($xmlBuilder->getXML());
} catch (XMLArrayException $e) {
    var_dump('An exception occurred: ' . $e->getMessage());
}

Output

string(414) "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
       "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<Root>
    <FirstChildFirstElement><![CDATA[This is a test]]></FirstChildFirstElement>
    <FirstChildSecondElement>False</FirstChildSecondElement>
    <SecondParent>
        <Secondchild myAttr="Attr Value"/>
        <Secondchild>False</Secondchild>
        <ThirdParent>
            <Child/>
        </ThirdParent>
    </SecondParent>
    <FirstChildThirdElement/>
</Root>
"

Looping through data

You easily added sets of data using the startLoop method provided.

Example: XML output of a list of users

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

use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\XMLArray;
use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\XMLBuilder;
use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\Writer\XMLWriterService;

$users = [
    [
        'name' => 'John Doe',
        'age' => 32
    ],
    [
        'name' => 'Jane Doe',
        'age' => 98
    ]
];


$xmlWriterService = new XMLWriterService();
$xmlBuilder = new XMLBuilder($xmlWriterService);

$xmlBuilder
    ->createXMLArray()
        ->start('Root')
            ->startLoop('Users', [], function (XMLArray $XMLArray) use ($users) {
                foreach ($users as $user) {
                    $XMLArray->start('User')
                        ->add('name', $user['name'])
                        ->add('age', $user['age']);
                }
            })
            ->end()
        ->end();

var_dump($xmlBuilder->getXML());

Output

string(261) "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Root>
    <Users>
        <User>
            <name>John Doe</name>
            <age>32</age>
        </User>
        <User>
            <name>Jane Doe</name>
            <age>98</age>
        </User>
    </Users>
</Root>
"

Looping without a parent

You easily loop through a list of of data using the loop method provided, without having a parent element for the looped data.

Example: XML output of a list of users

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

use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\XMLArray;
use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\XMLBuilder;
use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\Writer\XMLWriterService;

$users = [
    [
        'name' => 'John Doe',
        'age' => 32
    ],
    [
        'name' => 'Jane Doe',
        'age' => 98
    ]
];


$xmlWriterService = new XMLWriterService();
$xmlBuilder = new XMLBuilder($xmlWriterService);

$xmlBuilder
    ->createXMLArray()
    ->start('Root')
        ->loop(function (XMLArray $XMLArray) use ($users) {
            foreach ($users as $user) {
                $XMLArray->start('User')
                    ->add('name', $user['name'])
                    ->add('age', $user['age']);
            }
        })
    ->end();
    
var_dump($xmlBuilder->getXML());
?>

Output

<Root>
    <User>
        <name>John Doe</name>
        <age>32</age>
    </User>
    <User>
        <name>Jane Doe</name>
        <age>98</age>
    </User>
</Root>

Using a custom "XMLElementData" class

You can override the XMLElementData element class to implement transformations to the value of your data based on the type passed. To do this, you simply extend the XMLElementData class and override any of the methods to your liking.

Example: Customized MyXMLElementData class

<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\XMLElementData;
use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\XMLBuilder;
use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\Writer\XMLWriterService;
use AaronDDM\XMLBuilder\Exception\XMLArrayException;

/**
 * Class MyXMLElementData
 */
class MyXMLElementData extends XMLElementData
{
    /**
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function getValue()
    {
        $type = $this->getType();
        $value = $this->value;

        if(is_bool($value)) {
            $type = 'boolean';
        }

        switch($type) {
            case 'specialType':
                $value = 'Special Type Value';
                break;
            case 'boolean':
                $value = ($value) ? 'True' : 'False';
                break;
        }

        return $value;
    }
}

$xmlWriterService = new XMLWriterService();
$xmlBuilder = new XMLBuilder($xmlWriterService);
$xmlBuilder->setElementDataClass(MyXMLElementData::class);

try {
    $xmlBuilder
        ->createXMLArray()
            ->start('Root')
                ->addCData('1 First Child First Element', 'This is a test')
                ->add('First Child Second Element', false)
                ->start('Second Parent')
                    ->add('Second child 1', null, ['myAttr' => 'Attr Value'])
                    ->add('Second child 2', false)
                    ->start('Third Parent')
                        ->add('Child')
                        ->add('Special Type Child', "1", [], 'specialType')
                    ->end()
                ->end()
                ->add('First Child Third Element')
            ->end();

    var_dump($xmlBuilder->getXML());
} catch (XMLArrayException $e) {
    var_dump('An exception occurred: ' . $e->getMessage());
}

Output

string(482) "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Root>
    <FirstChildFirstElement><![CDATA[This is a test]]></FirstChildFirstElement>
    <FirstChildSecondElement>False</FirstChildSecondElement>
    <SecondParent>
        <Secondchild myAttr="Attr Value"/>
        <Secondchild>False</Secondchild>
        <ThirdParent>
            <Child/>
            <SpecialTypeChild>Special Type Value</SpecialTypeChild>
        </ThirdParent>
    </SecondParent>
    <FirstChildThirdElement/>
</Root>
