[](#dom-plus)

A simple DOMDocument class wrapper that adds some simple improvements

Inclusion in your Composer application
--------------------------------------

[](#inclusion-in-your-composer-application)

```
"require" : {
    "dcarbone/dom-plus" : "1.3.*"
}
```

This class utilizes the PHP DOMDocument method [registerNodeClass](http://www.php.net/manual/en/domdocument.registernodeclass.php) to extend several classes.

What this means is that whenever create a new instance of `DCarbone\DOMPlus\DOMDocumentPlus`, all DOMNode, DOMElement, DOMText, and DOMCharacterData objects contained within the document are instantiated as the modified classes I have included in this library.

So if you execute:

```
$dom = new DOMDocumentPlus;

$div = $dom->createElement('div');

echo get_class($div);
```

Instead of seeing **DOMElement**, you will see **DCarbone\\DOMPlus\\DOMElementPlus**. Same goes for:

```
$text = $dom->createTextNode('text!'); // returns DCarbone\DOMPlus\DOMTextPlus
```

Additionally, these methods will also exist if you try to consume XML with this class. However **I have not done any testing with XML documents!**. If you use this with XML and find issues, please report them

DOMElementPlus contains some additional HTML-specific features, such as style and class attribut helper methods
