Detailed Description

Class for translating XML to JSON.

Member Function Documentation

static fromXml (   $xmlStringContents,   $ignoreXmlAttributes = true  )

static

Converts XML to JSON.

Converts an XML formatted string into a JSON formatted string.

The caller of this function needs to provide only the first parameter, which is an XML formatted string.

The second parameter, also optional, allows the user to select if the XML attributes in the input XML string should be included or ignored during the conversion.

This function converts the XML formatted string into a PHP array via a recursive function; it then converts that array to json via Json::encode().

NOTE: Encoding native javascript expressions via Zend is not possible.

Deprecated:

by https://github.com/zendframework/zf2/pull/6778

Parameters

string	$xmlStringContents	XML String to be converted.
bool	$ignoreXmlAttributes	Include or exclude XML attributes in the conversion process.

Returns

string JSON formatted string on success.

Exceptions

Exception\RuntimeException

If the input not a XML formatted string.

static getXmlValue (   $simpleXmlElementObject )

staticprotected

Return the value of an XML attribute text or the text between the XML tags.

In order to allow Zend from XML, we check if the node matches the pattern, and, if so, we return a new Zend instead of a text node.

Parameters

SimpleXMLElement

$simpleXmlElementObject

Returns

Expr|string

static processXml (   $simpleXmlElementObject,   $ignoreXmlAttributes,   $recursionDepth = 0  )

staticprotected

processXml - Contains the logic for fromJson()

The logic in this function is a recursive one.

The main caller of this function (fromXml) needs to provide only the first two parameters (the SimpleXMLElement object and the flag for indicating whether or not to ignore XML attributes).

The third parameter will be used internally within this function during the recursive calls.

This function converts a SimpleXMLElement object into a PHP array by calling a recursive function in this class; once all XML elements are stored to a PHP array, it is returned to the caller.

Parameters

SimpleXMLElement	$simpleXmlElementObject
bool	$ignoreXmlAttributes
int	$recursionDepth

Returns

array

Exceptions

Exception\RecursionException

if the XML tree is deeper than the allowed limit.
