Abandoned
---------

[](#abandoned)

This package has moved to [skraeda/xmlary](https://github.com/Skraeda/xmlary).

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

A collection of helper classes I've made to simplify my workflow when using lots of XML with php and extracted into a composer package. The primary function of the package is to generate XML from associative arrays and provide a convenient platform for encapsulating that XML generation in its own object. All classes in this package will be in the Gunsobal\\Xmlary namespace.

Install the package into your project via composer or download the source code here on GitHub.

```
composer install gunsobal/xmlary
```
