Array To XML Converter
======================

[](#array-to-xml-converter)

This package converts an array of data to XML.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install this package using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)

```
composer require timkippdev/array-to-xml-converter
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use TimKippDev\ArrayToXmlConverter\ArrayToXmlConverter;

...

$data = [
    'product-1' => [
        '_attributes' => [
            'key' => 'value'
        ],
        'title' => 'Product One',
        'price' => [
            '_attributes' => [
                'locale' => 'us'
            ],
            '_value' => '$9.99'
        ]
    ],
    'product-2' => [
        'title' => 'Product Two',
        'price' => '$12.99'
    ]
];

$xml = ArrayToXmlConverter::convert($data);
```

The above example will generate the following result stored in the `$xml` variable.

Notice that the `_attributes` property can be used to add property values to the current node. If you need to add `_attributes` for a node with a single value, like "price" in the "product-1" node, you need to use `_value` to specify the value of the node.

For adding properties to the root none, see below in "Conversion Options".

```

    Product One
    $9.99

    Product Two
    $12.99

```

### Conversion Options

[](#conversion-options)

There is an optional second parameter for the `convert` method that accepts an array of "options" to override.

```
use TimKippDev\ArrayToXmlConverter\ArrayToXmlConverter;

...

$data = [
    'foo' => 'bar'
];

$xml = ArrayToXmlConverter::convert($data, [
    'encoding' => 'ISO-8859-15', // default - "UTF-8"
    'formatOutput' => true, // default - true
    'rootName' => 'new-root', // default - "root"
    'rootAttributes' => [
        'key' => 'value'
    ], // default - no attributes (empty array)
    'version' => '2.0' // default - "1.0"
]);
```

The above example will generate the following result stored in the `$xml` variable.

```

  bar

```
