FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package uxml
Uncomplicated XML
UXML is an extremely simple PHP library for manipulating XML documents with ease while keeping overhead to a bare minimum.
It consist of just a single class which uses the PHP built-in DOMElement and DOMDocument classes under the hood.

FAQ
Why use this instead of sabre/xml or FluidXML?\ Both those options are great and if they fit your project you should definetely use them! However, in my case I needed something more lightweight to put on top of LibXML's DOM to provide an alternative syntax.
Is UXML compatible with DOMElement?\
Yes, indeed! You can get the original DOMElement instance from an UXML object and vice versa.
I want UXML to do "X". Can you implement it?\ My main goal with this project is not to implement all possible behaviors in the XML specification, you can use the DOM or SimpleXML libraries for that.
Usage
Create a new document
UXML does not distinguish between XML documents (DOMDocument) and elements (DOMElement). Instead, you can create a new document like so:
You can also wrap an already existing DOMElement:
Load an XML document from source
By loading an XML string, UXML will return the root element of the document tree:
Add elements to a node
When adding an element, UXML will return a reference to the newly created element:
You can also define a value:
And even attributes or namespaces:
Element chaining
Because with every element insertion a reference to the new element is returned, you can chain multiple of these calls to create a tree:
Export XML source
Besides casting UXML objects to a string, there is a method for exporting the XML source of an element and its children:
By default, exported strings include an XML declaration (except when casting UXML instances to a string).
Find XML elements
UXML allows you to use XPath 1.0 queries to get a particular element from a document:
Or even multiple elements:
Note all XPath queries are relative to current element:
Remove XML elements
Elements can be removed from the XML tree by calling the remove() method on them.
After an element is removed, it becomes unusable:
Namespaces
Namespaces are assigned in the same way as other attributes:
However, when querying elements, the prefix defined in the document may not be the one you are expecting:
To fix this, you can make use of clark notation inside the XPath query:
Advanced XML manipulation
For any other document manipulation outside the scope of this library, you can always interact with the DOMElement instance:
