An XML to JSON converter that will properly preserve attributes.

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

[](#installation)

`composer require extphp/xml-to-json`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

A generic usage, usefull when the `SimpleXMLElement` instance already exists.

```
use ExtPHP\XmlToJson\XmlToJsonConverter;

$string = 'child value';
$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);

$converter = new XmlToJsonConverter($xml);
$converter->toArray();      // convert xml to array
$converter->toJson();       // convert xml to json
```

A quick approach when you need to convert a XML string to array or json.

```
use ExtPHP\XmlToJson\JsonableXML;

$xml = new JsonableXML('child value');
json_encode($xml);      // convert xml to json

// These methods are also available directly on the xml object.
$xml->toArray();        // convert xml to array
$xml->toJson();         // convert xml to json
```
