XMLParser
=========

[](#xmlparser)

I needed a quick way of outputting XML from an associative array on a few projects -this was the end result. I created this repository for later reference and fellow devs. At the time, It served it's purpose, however I am not actively developing this project -see the [Contributing](#contributing) section.

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

[](#installation)

- composer require jtrumbull/xml-parser

\##Usage

```
header('Content-type: text/xml');

use XMLParser\XMLParser;

$data = array(
  'attr:status'=>'success',
  'Person'=>array(
    'attr:id'=>987654321,
    'First Name'=>'John',
    'Last Name'=>'Smith'
  ),
  'Address'=>array(
    'attr:'=>array(
      'geo-coded'=>TRUE,
      'lat'=>'0.0000',
      'lon'=>'-0.0000'
    ),
    'Street'=>'123 Main Street',
    'City'=>'Somewhere',
    'State'=>'DE',
    'Zip'=>'12345'
  ),
  'other'=>array(
    'key'=>'value',
    array('value1','value2','value3')
  )
);

$xml = XMLParser::encode( $data , 'response' );
echo $xml->asXML();
```

Will output:

```

    John
    Smith

    123 Main Street
    Somewhere
    DE
    12345

    value

      value1
      value2
      value3

```
