FluidXML

<img src="https://bytebucket.org/daniele_orlando/bithosting/raw/master/Servo_logo.png" height="64px" alt="Servo-PHP Logo"/> <span>      </span> <img src="https://bytebucket.org/daniele_orlando/bithosting/raw/master/Fluidxml_logo.png" height="64px" alt="FluidXML Logo"/>

FluidXML is a PHP library designed to manipulate XML documents with a concise and fluent API.<br/> It leverages the fluent programming pattern to be fun and effective.

$book = fluidxml();

$book->add('title', 'The Theory Of Everything')
     ->add('author', 'S. Hawking')
     ->add('chapters', true)
         ->add('chapter', 'Ideas About The Universe', ['id' => 1])
         ->add('chapter', 'The Expanding Universe',   ['id' => 2]);

Or, if you prefer, there is an extended syntax.

$book = new FluidXml();

$book->addChild('title', 'The Theory Of Everything')
     ->addChild('author', 'S. Hawking')
     ->addChild('chapters', true)
         ->addChild('chapter', 'Ideas About The Universe', ['id' => 1])
         ->addChild('chapter', 'The Expanding Universe',   ['id' => 2]);

With FluidXML the DOM manipulation becomes fast, clear and expressive.

PHP Arrays are first class citizens.

$book->add([ 'title'  => 'The Theory Of Everything',
             'author' => 'S. Hawking',
             'chapters' => [
                    [ 'chapter' => [
                            '@id' => '1',
                            '@'   => 'Ideas About The Universe' ] ],
                    [ 'chapter' => [
                            '@id' => '2',
                            '@'   => 'The Expanding Universe' ] ],
           ]]);

echo $book;

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<doc>
  <title>The Theory Of Everything</title>
  <author>S. Hawking</author>
  <chapters>
    <chapter id="1">Ideas About The Universe</chapter>
    <chapter id="2">The Expanding Universe</chapter>
  </chapters>
</doc>

XPath is king.

$book->query('//title', '//author', '//chapter')
        ->attr('lang', 'en');

And CSS Selectors rock.

$book->query('#id', '.class1.class2', 'div p > span')
        ->attr('lang', 'en');

// Many other selectors are available.

XML/CSS Namespaces are fully covered.

$book->namespace('xhtml', 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml')
     ->add('xhtml:h1')
     ->query('//xhtml:h1')  // XPath namespace.
     ->query('xhtml|h1');   // CSS namespace.

And sometimes XML Fragments are the fastest way.

$book->add(<<<XML
    <cover class="front">
        <img src="http://goo.gl/kO3Iov"/>
    </cover>
    <cover class="back">
        <img src="http://goo.gl/kO3Iov"/>
    </cover>
XML
);

Everything is fluent, even iterations.

$book->query('//chapter')
        ->each(function ($i) {
             $this->attr('id', $i);
        });

$book->query('//chapters')
        ->times(3)
            ->add('chapter')
        ->times(4, function ($i) {
            $this->add('chapter');
            $this->add('illustration');
        });

Whether some queries are too complex to express with XPath/CSS,<br/> filtering is your friend.

$book->query('//chapters')
        ->filter(function ($i, $node) {
            return $i % 2 === 0;
        })
        ->attr('even');

Interoperability with existing DOMDocument and SimpleXML is simply magic.<br/> Import them or inject them in any point of the FluidXML flow just like that.

fluidxml($domdocument)
    ->query('/html/body')
         ->add($simplexml);

// Yes, we merged a DOMDocument with a SimpleXMLElement
// and everything is still fluid.

Don't be shy and tell it: « IT'S AWESOME! » ^\_^

Many other [APIs][apis] are available: - __invoke() - append()/appendSibling() - prepend()/prependSibling() - addText() - text()/setText() - addCdata() - cdata()/setCdata() - addComment() - comment()/setComment() - remove() - size()/length() - load() - save() - dom() - xml() - html() - __toString() - array() - ...

Still doubts?

FluidXML is fun to use, concise and effective.

If it's not enough, it has a comprehensive test suite with a 100% code coverage.

But you'll have the best answer trying it yourself.
