This library does the opposite of our [XML-Array](https://github.com/multidimension-al/xml-array) library which converts XML to a PHP array. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 5.5+ Installation ============ [](#installation) The easiest way to install this library is to use composer. To install, simply include the following in your `composer.json` file: ``` "require": { "multidimensional/dom-array": "*" } ``` Or run the following command from a terminal or shell: ``` composer require --prefer-dist multidimensional/dom-array ``` You can also specify version constraints, with more information available [here](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/versions.md). Usage ===== [](#usage) This library utilizes PSR-4 autoloading, so make sure you include the library near the top of your class file: ``` use Multidimensional\DomArray\DOMArray; ``` How to use in your code: ``` $dom = new DOMArray('1.0', 'utf-8'); $array = ['item' => ['subitem' => 'true', '@id' => '123']]; $dom->loadArray($array); $xml = $dom->saveXML(); echo $xml; /* * * true * */ ``` As shown in the example, attributes can be assigned by adding an `@` symbol before the attribute name. *Null* and *Empty* arrays will generate a DOMDocument with no elements. Contributing ============ [](#contributing) We appreciate all help in improving this library by either adding functions or improving existing functionality. If you do want to add to our library, please ensure you use PSR-2 formatting and add unit testing for all added functions. Feel free to fork and submit a pull request!
