[](#dom-)

A very simple (X)HTML/XML parser for PHP. It's goal is that the not manipulated output is as close as possible to the input. This means that it will parse most invalid mark-up without complains.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Include *dom* into your project with [composer](http://getcomposer.org/) and then:

```
$parser = new Parser('Custom ');
$parser->getNodes()->first()->setName('Your');
$printer = new Printer();
echo $printer->printNodes($parser->getNodes()); // Custom

```
