Parser Component is a framework agnostic package that provide a simple way to parse XML to array without having to write a complex logic.

Imagine if you can parse

<api>
    <user followers="5">
        <id>1</id>
        <email>[email protected]</email>
    </user>
</api>

to

<?php

$user = [
    'id' => '1',
    'email' => '[email protected]',
    'followers' => '5'
];

by just writing this:

<?php

use Laravie\Parser\Xml\Reader;
use Laravie\Parser\Xml\Document;

$xml = (new Reader(new Document()))->load('path/to/above.xml');

$user = $xml->parse([
    'id' => ['uses' => 'user.id'],
    'email' => ['uses' => 'user.email'],
    'followers' => ['uses' => 'user::followers'],
]);

To install through composer, simply put the following in your composer.json file:

{
    "require": {
        "laravie/parser": "^2.0"
    }
}

And then run composer install from the terminal.

Above installation can also be simplify by using the following command:

composer require "laravie/parser=^2.0"
