Laravel XML Helper
==================

[](#laravel-xml-helper)

The Laravel XML Helper package provides an easy and efficient way to work with XML data in your Laravel applications. It includes methods for converting arrays to XML, parsing XML to arrays, and extracting values using XPath queries.

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

[](#installation)

To install the package, you can use Composer:

```
composer require zacksitt/xml-helper

Usage
Converting Arrays to XML
Use the toXML() method to convert a PHP array to an XML string.

use Zacksitt\XmlHelper\XmlHelper;

$array = [
    'root' => [
        'element' => 'value',
        'anotherElement' => 'anotherValue'
    ]
];

$xmlHelper = new XmlHelper();
$xmlString = $xmlHelper->toXml($array);

echo $xmlString;

Parsing XML to Arrays

The toArray() method parses an XML string into a PHP array.

$xmlString = 'valueanotherValue';
$xmlHelper = new XmlHelper();
$array = xmlHelper->toArray($xmlString);

print_r($array);

Extracting Values with element.
Use the getValue() method to extract values from an XML string using an element name.

$xmlString = 'valueanotherValue';
$xpath = 'anotherElement';

$xmlHelper = new XmlHelper();
$value = $xmlHelper->getValue($xmlString, $xpath);

echo $value; // Output: anotherValue
