XML Parsing

Give this a try https://github.com/nathanmac/laravel-parser

@RachidLaasri it's for Laravel 4.

@toniperic copy the relevant code from the package https://github.com/nathanmac/laravel-parser/blob/master/src/Nathanmac/Parser/Parser.php#L33-L41

@toniperic Did you find a solution for this?

Thanks!

I am fairly new to Laravel. Will this work for 5? If so, does it require pulling in the relevant code to a help macro or something?

I guess more importantly, will this allow me to go JSON array -> XML.

Did you ever find one that allowed for JSON (Array) -> XML?

I am using XMLWriter with great success. http://php.net/manual/en/book.xmlwriter.php

I am using json_decode on my array prior to applying XMLWriter.

If you have a string containing XML and you want to convert it into an associative array:

// Load the XML
$xmlResponse = simplexml_load_string($response->getBody());

// JSON encode the XML, and then JSON decode to an array.
$responseArray = json_decode(json_encode($xmlResponse), true);

When working with large datasets, this approach might not be the best since you're loading the entire dataset into memory. Check XMLReader, perhaps?

https://github.com/Rodenastyle/stream-parser looks like very interesting multi-format parser.

I recently released a package to make xml to array transformations pretty painless: https://github.com/mtownsend5512/xml-to-array

@BLOOMANITY - Thank you!
