XML Builder for PHP
===================

[](#xml-builder-for-php)

A lightweight, fluent XML builder built on top of PHP's DOMDocument.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require mmusaib/xml-builder
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use mmusaib\XmlBuilder\XmlBuilder;

$xml = new XmlBuilder('products');

$product = $xml->addElementToRoot('product');
$xml->addAttributes($product, [
    'id' => 101,
    'type' => 'digital'
]);

$xml->addElement($product, 'name', 'Premium Course');
$xml->addCDATAElement(
    $product,
    'description',
    'High quality content'
);

echo $xml->getXml();
```

🚀 Streaming Large XML Files (Chunk-Safe Mode)
---------------------------------------------

[](#-streaming-large-xml-files-chunk-safe-mode)

When generating very large XML files (hundreds of thousands or millions of nodes), keeping everything in memory using DOMDocument can cause memory exhaustion. XmlBuilder supports streaming mode, allowing you to:

- Keep the root element constant
- Append children chunk by chunk
- Write directly to a file
- Keep memory usage extremely low

### Start Streaming

[](#start-streaming)

```
$xml = new XmlBuilder('products');
$xml->startStream('products.xml');
```

This writes:

```

```

### Append Nodes Per Chunk

[](#append-nodes-per-chunk)

```
foreach ($chunks as $chunk) {
    foreach ($chunk as $item) {
        $product = $xml->addElementToRoot('product');

        $xml->addElement($product, 'name', $item['name']);
        $xml->addElement($product, 'price', $item['price']);

        $xml->appendToStream($product);   // Writes & frees memory
    }
}
```

Each call:

- Writes ... to file
- Removes it from memory immediately

### Finish Streaming

[](#finish-streaming)

```
$xml->endStream();
```

This closes the root element:

```

```
