PAXB - very basic implementation of annotation driven xml binding

Supported annotations
---------------------

[](#supported-annotations)

This lib supports listed bellow annotations:

- XmlAttribute(name="")
- XmlElement(name="", type="") - type is required for unmarshaling fields containing objects
- XmlElementWrapper(name) - name required
- XmlTransient
- XmlValue

These annotations could be used only as property annotations or class annotation(XmlElement only)

Sample code

Marshalling example
-------------------

[](#marshalling-example)

```
    /**
     * @XmlElement(name="root")
     */
    class SampleEntity {

        /**
         * @XmlElement(name="attribute-value", type="AttributeValueEntity")
         */
        private $nestedEntity;

        private $text;

        /**
         * @XmlElementWrapper(name="number-list")
         */
        private $number = array();

        public function __construct($number = array(), $nestedEntity = null, $text = "")
        {
            $this->number = $number;
            $this->nestedEntity = $nestedEntity;
            $this->text = $text;
        }
    }

    class AttributeValueEntity {

        /**
         * @XmlAttribute
         */
        private $attribute;

        /**
         * @XmlElement
         */
        private $value;

        /**
         * @param string $attribute
         * @param string $value
         */
        public function __construct($attribute = "", $value = "")
        {
            $this->attribute = $attribute;
            $this->value = $value;
        }

        /**
         * @return string
         */
        public function getAttribute()
        {
            return $this->attribute;
        }

        /**
         * @return string
         */
        public function getValue()
        {
            return $this->value;
        }
    }

```

Marshalling code:

```
    $sampleEntity = new SampleEntity(
        array(1,2,3),
        new AttributeValueEntity('sample attribure', 'sample value'),
        'Sample text'
    );

    echo PAXB\Setup::getMarshaller()->marshall($sampleEntity, true);

```

Output:

```

            sample value

        Sample text

            1
            2
            3

```

Unmarshalling example
---------------------

[](#unmarshalling-example)

```
    $xmlInput = '...'; //as above
    /** @var SampleEntity $sampleEntity */
    $sampleEntity = PAXB\Setup::getUnmarshaller()->unmarshall($xmlInput, 'SampleEntity');

```

Running examples
----------------

[](#running-examples)

1. Install composer: php -r "eval('?>'.file\_get\_contents(''));"
2. Install dependencies: ./composer.phar install
3. run demo script: php demo/demo-marshall.php or php demo/demo-unmarshall.php
