Tabular
=======
[](https://travis-ci.org/phpbench/tabular)
[](https://styleci.io/repos/40823691)
Tabular is a library for transforming a source XML document into a tabular XML
document using a given configuration. The resulting tabular XML document can
then transformed or used to easily render tables (for example in HTML or in
the console).
Tabular is better than spreadsheets.
Documentation
-------------
See the [official documentation](http://tabular.readthedocs.org).
Example
-------
The central concept is the definition file:
```javascript
{
"rows": [
{
"cells": [
{
"name": "title",
"expr": "string(./title)"
},
{
"name": "price",
"expr": "number(./price)"
}
],
"with_query": "//book"
},
{
"cells": [
{
"name": "price",
"expr": "sum(//price)"
}
]
}
]
}
````
The above definition will generate a table representation in XML with a row
for each `` element in the given XML file and provide an additional row
showing the sum of all the `` elements of the `` element.
So given the following XML file:
```xml
War and Peace
5.00
One Hundered Years of Soliture
7
````
The generated table might look like this (as rendered by the [Tabular
CLI](https://github.com/phpbench/tabular-cli)):
```
┌────────────────────────────────┬───────┐
│ title │ price │
├────────────────────────────────┼───────┤
│ War and Peace │ 5 │
│ One Hundered Years of Soliture │ 7 │
│ │ 12 │
└────────────────────────────────┴───────┘
```
