Add ability to export XML to array or object (stdClass)
This PR is in relation to a suggestion raised in issue #28.
It allows you to export the XML in either an array or object. It introduces two new public functions:
- toArray()
- toObject()
It is dependant on the PEAR Library pear/xml_serializer.
Given the following XML:
<animal operation="create">
<type>Herbivore</type>
<attribute xmlns:foo="http://namespace.foo">
<foo:legs>4</foo:legs>
<foo:head>1</foo:head>
</attribute>
</animal>
Example usage:
$fluid = new FluidXml();
$fluid->addChild($xml);
$arr = $fluid->toArray();
print_r($arr);
Response
Array
(
[animal] => Array
(
[@xmlns:foo] => http://namespace.foo
[@operation] => create
[type] => Herbivore
[attribute] => Array
(
[@xmlns:foo] => http://namespace.foo
[foo:legs] => 4
[foo:head] => 1
)
)
)
Coverage decreased (-2.5%) to 97.317% when pulling 87a90a84481c647239739a5845b787ae30bfbd6a on denormalizer:ENH-xml-export into 22fe7678d7c9fa6c17cd53d04327d1dc1a44ebf7 on servo-php:master.
Instead of the two proposed functions, I've consolidated the two proposed functions into one function: exportTo()
.
Mainly to reduce ambiguity between array()
and toArray()
.
The usage has changed slightly.
