`\digitickets\LaLit` allows you to convert XML to a PHP array and back again.

The base code was developed by Lalit Patel and is available from

XML2Array : Array2XML :

I've added additional unit tests via a generator (so probably too many tests)

Extended usage
==============

[](#extended-usage)

Alternative labelling
---------------------

[](#alternative-labelling)

As of v3.2.0, the `init()` method has been expanded to allow the labels used in the output `XML2Array::createArray()` and the input to `Array2XML::createXML()` to be changed. Any value, where `null` is supplied will revert to the default value.

Version History
===============

[](#version-history)

Please read the [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) document.

@todo
=====

[](#todo)

1. Add support for `` within the XML, such that when converting from XML -> PHP -> XML, the comments are preserved.
