The method returns the resulting XML string. ``` $json = '[{"name":"John","age":"30","city":"New York"},{"name":"Jane","age":"25","city":"London"}]'; $xml = $dataConverter->jsonToXml($json); // Output: // ' // // John // 30 // New York // // // Jane // 25 // London // // ' ``` ### csvToXml [](#csvtoxml) The csvToXml method converts a CSV string to an XML string. #### Usage [](#usage-1) The method takes three arguments: the CSV string, an optional delimiter ``` $dataConverter = new DataConverter(); $csv = 1 John Doe 32 2 Jane Doe 29 ``` You can customize the root element name and row element name by passing the optional second and third arguments to the method. For example: ``` $xml = $dataConverter->csvToXml($csv, 'persons', 'person'); echo $xml; ``` This will produce the following XML output: ``` 1 John Doe 32 2 Jane Doe 29 ``` ### Running Tests [](#running-tests) To run tests, use following command ``` .\vendor\bin\phpunit tests/DataConverterTest.php ``` ### Hi, I'm Imran Ali! 👋 [](#hi-im-imran-ali-) ### 🚀 About Me [](#-about-me) Senior **Full-Stack** Developer specializing in front end and back-end development.
