Description 

Author

This class can be used to generate XML documents from arrays and also parse XML documents to build arrays.

It can work with an XML's textNodes and attributes, stores them into an array and generates an XML document.

This class can also do the opposite, i.e. take an XML document file or string and parse it, and then build an array.

It is quite simple in handling. Just look at the sample files.

Feature List:
- Array to XML Conversion while preserving attributes
- XML to Array Conversion
- XML to SimpleXMLElement Object
- SimpleXMLElement Object to XML
- XML to JSON
- Array to JSON

Other Scripts
- Schema Transformation for usage with Propel or Doctrine ORM
- Google Routes to GPX
- PHP Classes Reflection to XML

to be rewritten and provided later this year:
- QQuery (originally written as a set of classes for usage within symfony framework )

If you have suggestions for making it better then let me know.

What is the best PHP array to xml class?
Generate XML from the multi dimensional

Example

<?php
include("QXml.class.php");

$caption = "Vacation";

$nodes = array(
 
"@attributes" => array(
   
"dateformat" => "yyyy-mm-dd",
   
"dateformat" => "yyyy-mm-dd",
   
"hoverCapBorderColor" => "2222ff",
   
"hoverCapBgColor" => "e1f5ff",
   
"ganttWidthPercent" => 60,
   
"ganttLineAlpha" => 80,
   
"canvasBorderColor" => "024455",
   
"canvasBorderThickness" => 0,
   
"gridBorderColor" => "4567aa",
   
"gridBorderAlpha" => 20,
  ),
 
"categories" => array(
    array(
     
"@attributes" => array(
       
"bgColor" => "4567aa"
     
),
     
"category" => array(
        array(
         
"@attributes" => array(
           
"start" => "2008-01-01",
           
"end" => "2008-12-31",
           
"align" => "center",
           
"fontColor" => "ffffff",
           
"isBold" => 1,
           
"fontSize" => 14,
           
"name" => $caption,
            )
        ),
        array(
         
"@attributes" => array(
           
"start" => "2008-01-01",
           
"end" => "2008-12-31",
           
"align" => "center",
           
"font" => "Verdana",
           
"fontColor" => "ffffff",
           
"isBold" => 1,
           
"fontSize" => 11,
           
"name" => "Monate",
            ),
        ),
        array(
         
"@attributes" => array(
           
"bgColor" => "4567aa",
           
"fontColor" => "ff0000",
            ),
        ),
       
      )
    )
  )
);

$xml = new QXML;
$xml->toXML($nodes);
header("content-type:text/xml");
echo
$xml->asXML();

?>


Details

Motivation: I wrote QXml because I didn't found a php class that was able to handle array to xml conversion sufficiently. QXML is able to preserve attributes and does a lot more. An array structure is geared to the structure of a simple xml object. SimpleXMLElement attributes are printed out (via print_r()-method) like the following: [@attributes] Analogous to this convention you have to declare a nested array by setting its name to @attributes: array ( "@attributes" => array("id" => "myID") "@textNode" => "MyTextNode Data" ); If you declare a nested array with @textNode as key, then a CDDATE escaped text node will be created. Otherwise new elements will be created. QSet is my favorite array helper class that allows array handling with ease. I adopted it from CakePHP. I renamed it, reconditioned it a bit and made some useful enhancements. QSet and QXML are working together. It is a strong team. It allows e.g. following: ARRAY to XML Conversion XML to Array Conversion XML to Object Conversion Array to Object Conversion (vice versa) By including the vendor classes Services_JSON from PEAR and the IBM xml2json class you can do this additionally: XML to JSON Conversion Array to JSON Conversion and so on. The other classes are for now just example classes. The QReflection class is an extraction from another project where i use it for documentary demands and purposes. I hope you enjoy this class as i do. best regards Thomas Schäfer
