Sisyphus::C14N
==============

[](#sisyphusc14n)

This library provides a pure-PHP implementation of the following standards:

- Canonical XML Version 1.0 ()
- Exclusive XML Canonicalization Version 1.0 ()

Use cases
---------

[](#use-cases)

Consider using this library if you need XML canonicalization on the legacy PHP versions (PHP 5.1.x). If you work with PHP 5.2+, you already have libxml-based canonicalization functionality available as DOMNode::C14n().

PHP 5.1 as a target platform means we don't have access to nice features, like namespaces, lambdas or composer. Don't blame be if this code looks outdated to you. :)

Note that you can easily migrate from pure-PHP implementation to Lixml-based one when you upgrade your infrastructure by simply replacing Sisyphus\_C14n\_Legacy with Sisyphus\_C14n\_Libxml.

Dependencies
------------

[](#dependencies)

Runtime: PHP 5.1

Development: ant, phpunit, phpmd, phpcs, hhvm and hhvm-wrapper, phpcpd, phpdoc.

### PHP 5.3+

[](#php-53)

If your using PHP 5.2+ you won't need this package, but it's available as a composer package anyway.

```
composer install
```

Basic usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

```
$service = new Sisyphus_C14n_Legacy();

$service
    ->withComments(false)
    ->exclusive(true)
    ->query('//n1:element')
    ->namespaces(array('n1' => 'http://n1.example.com'))
    ->inclusiveNamespaces(array('n1'));

$outputString = $service->canonicalize($xmlDocument)

```
