### Powerful XML tools for PHP.

Exemplar provides a set of exhaustive and intuitive interfaces for reading, writing and manipulating XML documents and fragments.

---

## Installation

```bash

composer require decodelabs/exemplar

```

## Usage

### Reading & manipulating

Access and manipulate XML files with a consolidated interface wrapping the DOM functionality available in PHP:

```php

use DecodeLabs\Exemplar\Element as XmlElement;

$element = XmlElement::fromFile('/path/to/my/file.xml');

if($element->hasAttribute('old')) {

    $element->removeAttribute('old');

}

$element->setAttribute('new', 'value');

foreach($element->scanChildrenOfType('section') as $sectTag) {

    $inner = $sectTag->getFirstChildOfType('title');

    $sectTag->removeChild($inner);

    // Flatten to plain text

    echo $sectTag->getComposedTextContent();

}

file_put_contents('newfile.xml', (string)$element);

```

See [Element.php](./src/Element.php) for the full interface.

### Writing

Programatically generate XML output with a full-featured wrapper around PHP's XML Writer:

```php

use DecodeLabs\Exemplar\Writer as XmlWriter;

$writer = new XmlWriter();

$writer->writeHeader();

$writer->{'ns:section[ns:attr1=value].test'}(function ($writer) {

    $writer->{'title#main'}('This is a title');

    $writer->{'@body'}('This is an element with content wrapped in CDATA tags.');

    $writer->writeCData('This is plain CDATA');

});

echo $writer;

```

This creates:

```xml

    This is a title

    

```

See [Writer.php](./src/Writer.php) for the full interface.
