This library does the opposite of our [DOM-Array](https://github.com/multidimension-al/dom-array) library which converts an array into an XML file. 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/xml-array": "*" } ``` Or run the following command from a terminal or shell: ``` composer require --prefer-dist multidimensional/xml-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\XmlArray\XMLArray; ``` How to use in your code: ``` $xml = 'Value'; $array = XMLArray::generateArray($xml); print_r($array); //$array = array("tag" => array(0 => 'Value')); ``` By default, the library will convert attributes and will prepend `@` prior to the name of the attribute. You can disable the conversion of attributes by setting the 2nd parameter in `generateArray` to false. When set to false, the attributes will be placed in an array, typically marked by the value '@attributes'. *Null* or *Empty* XML will return a null array. 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!
