A PHP parser and generator for the [BeerXML 1.0](http://www.beerxml.com/) standard.

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

Full API documentation is at

The unit tests in the tests/ directory provides some good examples as well.

Parser
------

[](#parser)

```
$parser = new \BeerXML\Parser();
$result = $parser->parse(file_get_contents('http://www.beerxml.com/recipes.xml'));
foreach ($result as $recipe) {
    /** @var $recipe \BeerXML\Record\Recipe **/
    echo "Found beer recipe " . $recipe->getName() . "\n";
}
```

If you don't want to use the basic record classes from the `BeerXML\Record` namespace (say, you want to add some ABV math or some Doctrine annotations so your recipe can easily save to a database) it's possible to specify the classes that get generated. You'll need to implement the `BeerXML\Parser\I*Writer` interfaces in your classes, then subclass `BeerXML\Parser\RecordFactory` to have it create your classes. Once you've got your objects set up, you can pass it into the constructor of `BeerXML\Parser`

Generator
---------

[](#generator)

```
$recipe = new \BeerXML\Record\Recipe();
$recipe->setName('My Brew');

$generator = new \BeerXML\Generator();
$generator->addRecord($recipe);
$xml = $generator->render();
echo $xml;
```

`BeerXML\Generator` will accept any record that implements the `BeerXML\Generator\I*Reader` interfaces.

Records
-------

[](#records)

There are a record classes for all the record types in the BeerXML specification that contain getter and setter methods. They implement the extended "Display" interfaces for the parser and generator, which means that include getters and setters from Appendix A of the spec. They do not include any math or compute any fields, as that is outside the scope of this project.

```
$recipe = new \BeerXML\Record\Recipe();
$recipe->setName('Imperial Session');
$recipe->setOg(1.105);
$recipe->setFg(1.002);
$recipe->setIbu(99);
```

Installation
============

[](#installation)

Requires **PHP 5.3.0** or higher.

The easiest way is to install php-beerxml with [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md).

Create a file named `composer.json` in your project root:

```
{
    "require": {
        "georgeh/php-beerxml": "*",
    }
}
```

Then, run the following commands:

```
$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ php composer.phar install
```

If you don't use Composer, you can directly [download](https://github.com/georgeh/php-beerxml) the sources and configure it with your PSR-0 compatible autoloader.
