README
Easily convert valid xml to a php array.
## Installation
Install via composer:
```
composer require mtownsend/xml-to-array
```
## Quick start
### Using the class
```php
use Mtownsend\XmlToArray\XmlToArray;
$xml = <<
fedex
123
9205590164917312751089
XML;
$array = XmlToArray::convert($xml);
// $array is:
[
'carrier' => 'fedex',
'id' => '123',
'tracking_number' => '9205590164917312751089'
];
```
### Using the global helper
```php
$xml = <<
fedex
123
9205590164917312751089
XML;
$array = xml_to_array($xml);
// $array is:
[
'carrier' => 'fedex',
'id' => '123',
'tracking_number' => '9205590164917312751089'
];
```
## Helpers, methods, and arguments
**Static method**
``XmlToArray::convert($xml, $outputRoot = false)``
The ``$outputRoot`` determines whether or not the php array will have a ``@root`` key. Default is ``false``.
**Helper**
``xml_to_array($xml, $outputRoot = false)``
Arguments are identical to ``XmlToArray::convert`` method.
## Purpose
XML has always been a challenge to work with in PHP compared to other data formats, such as JSON. This package aims to make integrating with XML files or api requests significantly easier. With this package, you might actually like interfacing with XML in your application now.
