Some applications need to parse XML documents for extracting records of information that are stored in a certain structure.

This class can simplify the extraction of information from XML documents.

It uses the PHP streams support to open a virtual file with a name that includes the actual XML document file to parse, as well the format of the path of the XML elements to be extracting.

The XML elements path definition can be specified as a XPATH expression.

Using regular PHP file opening and reading functions it can return the XML elements that match the search expression.
