A PHP XML parser class that provides an easy way to convert XML into native PHP arrays and back again. It has no dependencies on any external libraries or extensions bundled with PHP. The entire parser is concisely written in PHP.

This project is actively maintained. It is used in our production code. If you spot an issue, please let us know through the Issues section on our Github project page:
