Codeception\Util\XmlBuilder

• Implements Stringable

That’s a pretty simple yet powerful class to build XML structures in jQuery-like style. With no XML line actually written! Uses DOM extension to manipulate XML data.

<?php $xml = new \Codeception\Util\XmlBuilder(); $xml->users ->user ->val(1) ->email ->val('[email protected]') ->attr('valid','true') ->parent() ->cart ->attr('empty','false') ->items ->item ->val('useful item'); ->parents('user') ->active ->val(1); echo $xml;

This will produce this XML

<?xml version="1.0"?> <users> <user> 1 <email valid="true">[email protected]</email> <cart empty="false"> <items> <item>useful item</item> </items> </cart> <active>1</active> </user> </users>

Usage

Builder uses chained calls. So each call to builder returns a builder object. Except for getDom and __toString methods.

• $xml->node - create new xml node and go inside of it.
• $xml->node->val('value') - sets the inner value of node
• $xml->attr('name','value') - set the attribute of node
• $xml->parent() - go back to parent node.
• $xml->parents('user') - go back through all parents to user node.

Export:

• $xml->getDom - get a DOMDocument object
• $xml->__toString - get a string representation of XML.
