要处理XML 文件，有两种传统的处理思路：SAX 和DOM。SAX 基于事件触发机制，对XML 文件进行一次扫描，完成要进行的处理；DOM 则将整个XML 文件构造为一棵DOM树，通过对DOM 树的遍历完成处理。这两种方法各有优缺点，SAX 的处理思路相对抽象，DOM 的处理过程相对烦琐，都不很适合新手的入门。PHP5 推出了一套新的XML 处理函数，即SimpleXML。名如其实，SimpleXML 本身小巧精干，只提供了少量的几个方法函数，但用它处理起XML 文件功能却非常强大，操作也非常的简单。

echo $_user[<span>1</span>]->author->attributes();很多情况下，手工生成标记要求从上到下生成文档，必须保证标签都是完整的，开始和结束标签。尽管借助于一些PHP函数或类可以有所改善，不过PHP还提供了一组更有帮助的内置对象和函数。文档对象模型（Document Object Model，DOM）提供了一个树状结构，能很容易创建和处理标签。
