Xparse
======

[](#xparse)

A small lib, to parse XML or HTML details with XPath expressions into a PHP array structure.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
$ composer require dadyday/xparse
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

We create the scheme first (maybe in a DI container), and parse the document within our business logic.

```
 Value::str('@attr', function($val) {
            # val is null if not found
            return ($val ?? 'not') . ' found';
        }),
        # all textnodes in the current context
        'text' => '.', # short for Value::str('...')
        # returns the existence as a boolean
        'next' => Value::bool('following-sibling::el'),
        # return a list of 2. arg within each finding of the first
        'prev' => Value::list('preceding-sibling::el', '@id'),
    ]
);
$oParser = new Parser($oValue);
$aList = $oParser->parseXml($xml);
$aList == [ // map for every el
    // key is first i-content as integer
    1 => [ // struct for first el
        'attr' => 'an attrib found', // attr of first el
        'text' => 'the important and 1st content', // text content
        'next' => true, // there are following el's
        'prev' => [], // no previous el
    ],
    // key from b-content
    2 => [ // secound el
        'attr' => 'not found', // there is no attrib
        'text' => '2. content',
        'next' => true,
        'prev' => ['a'], // one el before
    ],
    // key is the default 'none'
    'none' => [ // third el
        'attr' => 'another attrib found',
        'text' => '3rd content',
        'next' => false, // no el behind
        'prev' => ['a', 'b'], // two el's before
    ],
];
```
