There are two basic types of XML parsers:
Tree-based parser: This parser converts XML documents into a tree structure. It analyzes the entire document and provides an API to access tree elements, such as text
Document Object Model (DOM).
Event-based parser: Treats an XML document as a series of events. When a specific event occurs, the parser calls a function to handle it.DOM parser is a tree-based parser.
DOM XML parser functions are an integral part of PHP core. No installation is required to use these functions.
XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <note> <to>George</to> <from>John</from> <heading>Reminder</heading> <body>Don't forget the meeting!</body> </note>
<?php
$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
$xmlDoc->load("note.xml");
print $xmlDoc->saveXML();
?>
Loop XML:
<?php
$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
$xmlDoc->load("note.xml");
$x = $xmlDoc->documentElement;
foreach ($x->childNodes AS $item)
{
print $item->nodeName . " = " . $item->nodeValue . "<br />";
}
?>
