Caldera - PHP Data Import Tool
==============================

[](#caldera---php-data-import-tool)

Caldera helps you to import data from sources like XML or CSV, to map, transform and validate them according to your needs and provides them with small memory footprint.

```
$csvInputGenerator = new \Smichaelsen\Caldera\InputGenerator\CsvInputGenerator();
$csvInputGenerator->setCsvHandle(fopen(__DIR__ . '/test-equestrian.csv', 'r'));

foreach (\Smichaelsen\Caldera\RecordMapper::mapRecords(
    $csvInputGenerator,
    new MyMappingClass()
) as $record) {
    // $record is mapped, validated and processed according to rules in your MyMappingClass()
}

```

Caldera works line by line (record by record) when possible (not possible with XML) and this way saves memory. This enables you to import data from a huge CSV file for example.
