XML to object
=============

[](#xml-to-object)

This library simply converts XML into an object.

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

XML to object is very easy to use. **Example:**

```
// Using composer here, but you can also directly include XmlToObject.php
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

// Import the function
use function KrossCode\XmlToObject\xmlToObject;

// First we need to get the contents of our XML file
$xmlContents = file_get_contents('path/to/xml/file.xml');
if (!$xmlContents) return false; // File couldn't be read

// Now we try to convert the XML to an object
$xmlObject = xmlToObject($xmlContents);
if (!$xmlObject) return false; // XML couldn't be converted to an object

print_r($xmlObject); // Success!
```

Example
-------

What does the object look like, compared to the XML?
