Tabular is a library for transforming a source XML document into a tabular XML document using a given configuration. The resulting tabular XML document can then transformed or used to easily render tables (for example in HTML or in the console).

Tabular is better than spreadsheets.

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

See the [official documentation](http://tabular.readthedocs.org).

Example
-------

[](#example)

The central concept is the definition file:

```
{
    "rows": [
        {
            "cells": [
                {
                    "name": "title",
                    "expr": "string(./title)"
                },
                {
                    "name": "price",
                    "expr": "number(./price)"
                }
            ],
            "with_query": "//book"
        },
        {
            "cells": [
                {
                    "name": "price",
                    "expr": "sum(//price)"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
```

The above definition will generate a table representation in XML with a row for each `` element in the given XML file and provide an additional row showing the sum of all the `` elements of the `` element.

So given the following XML file:

```

            War and Peace
            5.00

            One Hundered Years of Soliture
            7

```

The generated table might look like this (as rendered by the [Tabular CLI](https://github.com/phpbench/tabular-cli)):

```
┌────────────────────────────────┬───────┐
│ title                          │ price │
├────────────────────────────────┼───────┤
│ War and Peace                  │ 5     │
│ One Hundered Years of Soliture │ 7     │
│                                │ 12    │
└────────────────────────────────┴───────┘

```
